Working with local communities to sow the seeds of change.

They 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.

They have five cycles each year for grant donations.

Small grant applications, up to £250, are welcomed three times a year during:

1st April to 30th June for review in July
1st August to 31st October for review in November
1st December to 28th February for review in April

Large grant applications, up to £3,000, are welcomed twice a year during:

1st March to 31st July for review by the Board of Trustees in September/October
1st September to 31st January for review by the Board of Trustees in March
All applicants will be informed of the outcome following the review.

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