The Fine & Country Foundation has announced the 17 charities which will be allocated funding in its most recent round of grants.
After extending the application deadline to the end of April, in light of the COVID-19 outbreak, a record number of organisations applied for grants of up to £3,000 of funding.
The hard work and resilience of the Fine & Country offices, adapting their fundraising during this time, has meant that charitable projects from York to Zimbabwe have been successful in receiving funding towards supporting their homeless communities.
The selected charities were notified on 16th May that their grant applications were successful, the same day that the Government announced that the funding for rough sleeper’s emergency scheme would be coming to an end.
Several grants have been given to projects focused on relieving the immediate impacts on the homeless community during the current pandemic.
Emilie Despois, Head of Marketing said:
“We are delighted to donate to 17 charities around the world in our continued effort to alleviate homelessness in all its forms, even more crucial in these unprecedented times.
“My sincere thanks to all Fine & Country offices who have not let the global crisis halt their charitable efforts.
“Since the Foundation’s inception, we have donated over £500,000 to superb causes both in UK and around the world.
“We look forward to building on this success, with the goal of raising £1,000,000 for homeless charities.”
“The Fine & Country Foundation is committed to helping those in need, and there has never been as many people in need as there are now,”
Applications for the Autumn Grant Scheme will be accepted from 1st October 2020.
