Today we launch a new Strong Foundations Grant for 2021, in partnership with social enterprise Semble, which will support grassroot initiatives across the UK.
Starting today, 19th May - 4th August, community organisations will be able to apply for a share of a £25,000 fund per region as well as access to a volunteer workforce for projects that address local needs.
Our Strong Foundations Grant will again be available for those that need funding or support for new ideas or existing projects, with an aim to drive positive change in the local community.
Community organisations will be able to apply for the Strong Foundations Grant through ActionFunder, the newly launched funding platform that matches businesses with community projects - making it easier than ever before to give and get funding.
Those eligible to apply for the grant include:
Successful applications will be shortlisted, and a judging panel of Sir Robert representatives will decide the winning projects, to be awarded up to £3,000 each.*

Mark Shearer, Co-Founder of ActionFunder parent company, Semble, commented:
“After delivering a community grant fund last year with Sir Robert McAlpine, we’ve worked together to automate the process through ActionFunder. The outcome enables Sir Robert McAlpine and now any business to reach into their communities and back amazing people doing truly incredible things.”
Today we launch our Strong Foundations Grant in partnership with social enterprise Semble, to support grassroots initiatives around central Manchester and Salford.
Following the launch of our Strong Foundations Grant with Semble earlier this year, we are pleased to announce our awardees.
