Overview

Flexible grants designed
to unlock opportunities

Catalyst Grants are grants to individuals to fund activities and resources that unlock opportunities, provide critical support, and enhance wellbeing.

They are designed to improve the quality of life and overall wellbeing of individuals and families with low-incomes who demonstrate a need for support and live in the Richmond Foundation area of benefit – TW9, TW10, SW13 and SW14.

Our Catalyst Partners are local support organisations who are experts in local need. They have flexibility in the value and use of a Catalyst Grant allowing them to provide tailored support based on what will have the biggest impact on an individual’s circumstances. There is a focus on creating sustainable, long-term change.

If you are an individual looking to apply for a Catalyst Grant, you will need to contact a Catalyst Partner, we do not accept applications.

Please refer to our Frequently Asked Questions for further help.
