Sangam Foundation is about creating opportunities and facilities to help the wider community by awarding grants and funding.
We choose projects that are within our ethos and work towards our objectives.
Funding non-profit charitable organisations that themselves are engaged in work that supports and empowers communities is one of the most effective ways in which we can deliver change and/or support where it’s most needed.
Sangam Foundation offers two types of grants;
Peoples Projects, a grant for funding from £300 up to £10,000 to be completed within one year.
Community Award, a longer-term grant for funding from £5,000 up to £150,000 for UK based charities and non-profit organisations to be awarded in three payments of up to £50,000 per year over three years.
Grants are given to those charities and non-profit organisations who meet our objectives and ethos, and are actively supporting and empowering communities.
Our primary objectives are:
– Empowering the disadvantaged
– Relieving poverty for those in need
– Improving mental and physical wellbeing
– Providing facilities in the interests of social welfare and the advancement of education
