Leeds Building Society Charitable Foundation supports UK-registered charities that help people access and keep a safe, secure home, with a clear emphasis on housing insecurity and homelessness. Its funding is especially relevant to organizations addressing homelessness, housing quality, financial stress linked to housing instability, and Housing First-style support, with larger awards reserved for charities based in Yorkshire or the North East. The Foundation appears to favor practical, frontline charities and partnership work that directly improves stability and wellbeing for vulnerable groups, including care-experienced young people.
Offers small flexible grants up to £2,500 for 6–12 months and larger multi-year grants averaging about £40,000 over 2 years. Trustees review small grants quarterly, while large grants are made through three rounds per year and appear to be more geographically restricted and likely relationship- or program-fit driven.
