How to apply

As a small charitable foundation, our aim is to support no more than four organisations each year, with one or two organisations selected each funding round.

We do not accept unsolicited applications. We do however, welcome applications from those who meet our eligibility criteria and submit their online application with the relevant paperwork by the deadline.

All applications are measured against our own feasibility criteria. Shortlisted applicants will be invited to meet with our panel to discuss their application in greater depth.

Take our Eligibility Quiz to see if you can apply to become a Partner. If you meet our organisational criteria, we’d love to hear from you.

Get in touch.

We appreciate completing application forms can be a lengthy process. We offer more than just money and our support approach requires a year’s commitment. If you’re unsure whether this is the right kind of support for you, please book a 15 minutes call with Jane, the Founder for a friendly chat. Email jane@pearcefoundation.org.uk to arrange.

Alternatively, please fill in this form, and we will reach out to you as soon as possible.
