The Steve Morgan Foundation focuses on tackling social disadvantage through long-term, practical partnerships, with a strong emphasis on place-based change in its home regions and on high-impact medical research. Its regional grants support not-for-profits working across education, access to services, and employment in Merseyside, North Wales, and North Shropshire, often funding multi-year systemic work rather than short-term projects. Separately, its Type 1 Diabetes Grand Challenge is a major, collaborative research initiative aimed at accelerating treatments and next-generation insulin development through large-scale biomedical research partnerships.
Awards are typically large, strategic grants in the $250,000-$500,000 range. Regional grants are offered on a rolling basis with no fixed deadline and are intended to support long-term systemic change; the diabetes initiative is a five-year, partnership-led research program funded at very large scale.

For regional funding, organizations should be based in or serving Merseyside, North Wales, or North Shropshire and be prepared to show how they will deliver long-term systemic change across education, access to provision, or employment. The regional program accepts applications year-round, so strong applicants should approach with a clear place-based theory of change and evidence of local partnership; the diabetes funding appears partnership-led rather than open unsolicited, so research groups should look for collaborative opportunities through the named program partners.
