HEY Smile Foundation is a Yorkshire-based infrastructure charity that combines grantmaking with hands-on support to help local charities and community groups become stronger, better governed, and more resilient. Its grantmaking is especially focused on grassroots performing arts and youth opportunity projects across Hull and East Yorkshire, with a clear preference for local, community-rooted initiatives that widen access to creative participation. Beyond funding, it also stands out for offering practical capacity-building support such as leadership, governance, data, and organizational development services.
Small-to-midsize local grants, typically from a few hundred pounds up to around £10,000, with applications announced as open through site posts rather than fixed annual deadlines. The foundation also appears to provide non-grant support directly through staff expertise, infrastructure assistance, and partner/admin support for related community initiatives.

Watch the foundation’s website and news posts for rolling or announced-open application windows, since no fixed deadline is evident. Proposals should be tightly aligned to local Hull/East Yorkshire benefit, prioritize access for young people, and clearly describe the performing-arts or community impact; applicants may also benefit from demonstrating governance readiness and community partnerships.
