The Peter Harrison Foundation will close to new funding applications until further notice from Wednesday, 2 April 2025. This decision follows an unprecedented surge in demand for funding, resulting in less than 5% of grant applications being successful.
This closure will allow them to focus on:
- Reviewing their grantmaking strategy and processes to ensure that their funds can have the greatest possible impact in the future.
- Supporting around 200 current grant holders.
- Processing the hundreds of outstanding applications submitted before the deadline.
The overwhelming demand has made it unfeasible to continue accepting new applications. Organisations currently receiving funding will not be affected by this decision.
Key details for the current application round:
Applications received by the end of the day on Tuesday, 1 April 2025 will still be considered.
They are prioritising applicants whose work most closely aligns to their mission. For Active Lives they will prioritise the applications that meet ALL of the following criteria:
- work with people living with disabilities in the top 10% of areas of deprivation (Indices of Multiple Deprivation decile 1) AND
- are from organisations with a track record of working with this population AND
- have a robust plan for wider impact of the project through dissemination, training etc
