Ford Britain Trust

We are committed to supporting the communities that we work and live in. That is why we created the Ford Britain Trust. Since April 1975 we have been able to help fund the education and advancement of our neighbours.

We pay special attention to projects focusing on education, environment, children, the disabled, youth activities and projects that provide clear benefits to the local communities close to our UK locations. The Ford Britain Trust particularly encourages applications supported by Ford employees, but is open to all, provided that the qualifying organisations meet our selection criteria.

There are two types of grants to apply for:

Small grants for amounts up to £250: Grant window is available three times each year: - 1st April to 30th June, - 1st August to 31st October, - 1st December to 28th February.

Large grants for amounts over £251 and up to a maximum of £3,000: Considered in March (deadline 31st January) and September (deadline 31st July). A copy of the organisation's most recent Report and Accounts should be submitted with all large grant applications.

Please note applications received after these dates will not be accepted and will, instead, be put forward for inclusion in the next application cycles.
