Allen
Lane Foundation
The Foundation
was established in 1966 by the late Sir Allen Lane, founder
of Penguin books. It is a charitable trust which makes small
grants in the U.K.
What
is the funding for?
The Foundation wishes to fund work which
• will
make a lasting difference to people’s lives rather than
simply alleviating the symptoms or current problems
•
is aimed at reducing isolation, stigma and discrimination,
and
•
encourages or enables unpopular groups to share in the life
of the whole community.
The Foundation is interested in work that benefits people
in the following groups:
• asylum-seekers and refugees (but not groups working
with a single nationality)
• gay,
lesbian, bi-sexual or transgender people
•
gypsies and travellers
•
offenders and ex-offenders
•
older people
•
people from black and minority ethnic communities and migrant
workers
•
people experiencing mental health problems
•
people experiencing violence or abuse
How
much money is available?
Grants are relatively small. Single, one off grants range
from £500 to £15,000. Grants repeated for more
than one year vary from about £500 per annum up to £5,000
per annum for a maximum of three years.
