The Asda Foundation supports charities and not-for-profit organisations which are carrying out projects to benefit the local community and that have the support of their local Asda store.
There are Asda stores in Newton Abbot, Torquay, Paignton, Plymouth, Barnstaple, Bideford and Crediton, as well as Gunnislake in Cornwall and Wellington in Somerset (near the Devon border). You need to contact your Local Community Champion in the first instance if you are looking for support from the Asda Foundation.
Funding can be provided through several schemes, including:
Empowering Local Communities – to support a broad range of activities which contribute towards transforming the community and improving the lives of people in that community.
U18 Better Start Grant – giving children the best start in life, tackling poverty, inclusion and wellbeing.
Cost of Living Grant – help towards increased running costs of community groups such as rent, utility and essential costs, as well as funding to strengthen volunteering
Emergency Funding – assistance during times of emergency
Each scheme has separate guidance and criteria which provide details of what can be funded. Refer to the Asda Foundation website for more information.
