Halifax Community Flex Fund

The Community FLEX programme is open to registered charities with an income of £500,000 or less, with a least one year of annual returns published on the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland’s website.

In line with the priorities of The Halifax Foundation, your charity must directly support people in greatest need. For example, supporting people living in poverty; those who are unemployed; those with disabilities or mental ill health. (This is not an exhaustive list – other areas of need will be considered.)

Priority will be given to those charities whose core mission is to support a vulnerable group or for a project targeting a vulnerable group.

Community FLEX is a rolling programme, which means you can apply at any time. However, we may need to close the Programme later in the year, should our budget be fully allocated.

FLEXIBILITY COMMITTMENT – We recognise that costs you need supported at the time of application may not be what you need throughout the lifetime of your grant. We encourage you to speak to your grants officer should things change and we will endeavour to be as flexible as possible. (Please note – you must receive confirmation of approval before changes are made.)
