Regular Crown Fund
Who can apply: King's staff may apply directly to the Charity. The fund is intended for projects aligned with strategic priorities.
Deadline: The Crown Fund 2025/2026 is now open for applications.
King's College Hospital Charity supports projects that help King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust go beyond core NHS funding, with a strong emphasis on improving patient care through innovation, service development, and targeted capital or equipment purchases. Its most distinctive current priority is transformational, Trust-wide work using AI, digital tools, or other technology to improve care, especially for vulnerable patients and efforts that reduce health inequalities. The charity also funds a wide range of smaller ward-, service-, and staff-focused initiatives through designated funds, making it a practical source for both large strategic projects and local quality-of-care improvements.
A mix of invite-style internal Trust funding and structured application processes, ranging from small designated-fund grants under £5,000 to large strategic awards up to £300,000. Larger grants are more complex and may require additional approvals, while many smaller awards are restricted to specific donor-designated purposes and are awarded for local, practical improvements.

Most funding is for King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust staff or projects within the Trust, so eligibility is highly restricted. Applicants should match proposals to the relevant fund type: use the Strategic Crown Fund for AI/digital/technology transformation, the Large Grants route for research or capital needs, and designated funds for smaller ward or service improvements; larger requests may need board-level approval, so plan ahead and align closely with the charity's stated priorities.
