Home / Apply for funding

Applications for Hope Funds 2024 are now CLOSED. Thank you for your applications, and we will evaluate all applications and be in contact soon.

We are looking to fund projects from registered charities, social enterprises and community groups that align with our strategic objectives. We will offer grants of up to £15,000 for projects across Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire.

This round of funding will focus on supporting charities and projects that aim to address one or more of the following:

  • Homelessness prevention
  • Increasing bed spaces for those experiencing homelessness
  • The reduction or alleviation of the impact of homelessness on children

It has always been a core objective of Hopestead to create strong sustainable communities and build empowering partnerships. We aim to do so by using our platform to offer funding to organisations that share our values and contribute to the prevention, reduction, and eradication of homelessness. We know that to tackle homelessness and the causes of homelessness we are far more likely to be successful and impactful if we do so by partnering with others.

Before you begin the application process, please read our Grant Funding Guidance.

Timeline for funding round is as follows:

  • 1 August 2024 – Funding round opens
  • 30 August 2024 – Application closing date
  • 30 September 2024 – We aim to respond to all applicants by this date
