Henry Smith Foundation supports people and organisations working with those who are economically or socially excluded, with a strong emphasis on life’s hardest transitions where timely help can prevent harm and unlock potential. It backs frontline and specialist service providers rather than direct service delivery, often funding targeted, rights-based or evidence-based interventions for children, young people, LGBT+ people, care-experienced people, and communities facing homelessness, domestic abuse, or other adversity. The foundation also makes some strategic, invitation-only investments in innovation, leadership, and sector strengthening.

Mix of open and invitation-only funding. Many grants are substantial and multi-year, ranging from smaller holiday grants to larger programme awards (often £60k-£250k, with some £200k+ grants); some programmes have fixed annual or periodic application windows, while others accept applications year-round or are invite-only.
Check each programme individually: some are open year-round (e.g. Clergy), some run on fixed seasonal windows (Holiday Grants, Proud Homes, Domestic Abuse Fund), and the Opportunity Fund is invite-only. Applications are best aligned when they are specialist, community-rooted, and clearly serve excluded groups; evidence of impact, safeguarding, and organisational fit with the programme theme will likely matter most.
