Bupa Foundation supports practical, community-based projects that improve both people and planet health, with a strong emphasis on healthier places, cleaner air, and access to nature. Its funding is especially aimed at schools, local charities, and community groups in areas where Bupa operates, often through employee-led committees and partnerships with delivery organizations. The foundation tends to back small, tangible projects that can make an immediate local impact rather than large, complex grants.
Mostly small grants and in-kind support, often delivered through annual programs or local employee-led committees. Funding is typically practical and project-based, with Green Community Grants up to £2,000 and other support including volunteering, monitors, resources, and local committee awards.
Watch for annual open windows for the Green Community Grants program, which typically opens in June and is delivered with Groundwork UK. For local committee funding, focus on community health, wellbeing, and green-space improvements in Bupa operating locations; these opportunities may be locally managed and not always centrally advertised.
