Our six grant programmes for charities and organisations will be closing for applications in October 2024 until summer 2025. We are asking organisations interested in applying for funding through these programmes to submit their Stage One application by 8 October. We cannot accept new Stage One applications for this round of funding beyond this date.
In 2022, we launched a £50 million portfolio of grant programmes to provide even more support to disabled people through other charities and organisations. Since then, we have awarded £38.7 million in grants to 76 grants to charities and organisations who provide transport, help to access it, or research how to make transport accessible for disabled people.
Our portfolio spans six programmes, including: Community Transport, Wheelchair Sector, Research, Active Travel, Travelling with Confidence and Reducing Barriers to Driving.
Lisa Jones, Director of Charitable Operations at the Motability Foundation, said: “We’re pleased to see the impact this grant portfolio has had in helping us to make an immediate difference to the transport needs of disabled people.
"Our next round of funding for charities and organisations will open next year, with a continued focus on addressing the challenges that disabled people face accessing transport right now.”
We are committed to continuing our support for disabled people through these six programmes, using £50 million of the donation we received this year. This new funding will be available for charities and organisations, including existing grant-holders, to apply for in 2025.
Our Grants to Organisations team will be hosting a Meet the Funder session online, on Tuesday 3 September, to discuss any queries around the programmes and applying for a grant. If you are interested in joining the session, please sign up via this form. For further questions, contact grantstoorganisations@motabilityfoundation.org.uk.
