Curated grants programmes

We make a small number of other grants each year and support organisations long-term. We find projects to support through our own research and the recommendations of people active in our fields of interest who share our values.

Autism

We fund a small number of practical projects that support the autonomy, liberty and human rights of autistic and neurodivergent people. We prefer projects that include autistic and neurodivergent people in their leadership, decision-making and delivery. This includes self-management, peer support, social skills projects, and family support.

October 2026 – we do not have any free budget to support new projects at the moment.

Disability, violence and access to justice

We support a small portfolio of projects working on Disabled people’s civic rights. We also support a small number of organisations responding to violence against autistic, neurodivergent and Disabled people. We expect to add to this portfolio, using careful research and dialogue with Disabled people.

Human rights

We support a small portfolio of projects working on trans and non-binary people’s civil rights and personal safety. All of these projects are selected following consultation with trans and non-binary people for work that meets their priorities.

Living Wage

We only funds projects that pay the Living Wage or better for all its workers.

What we don’t do

  • Capital projects
  • Pure research
  • Anything to do with a “cure” for autism
  • Anyone who provides residential care, even if the request is not for this. We count personal care in people’s own homes and camps or residential trips as residential care.
  • Anyone using Applied Behavioural Analysis or other coercive and contested methods of behavioural control
  • Apps, web-based platforms and software development
  • Schools and colleges
  • Educational fees
  • SEND advice and advocacy
  • Expeditions
  • Direct grants to individuals
  • Projects outside the UK

Monitoring and reporting

We usually ask people we fund for a single report each year. We also ask people to fill in an equalities monitoring form each year.

For holiday activity schemes and access to justice grants, we will email you a report form pre-filled with grant information.

Blank copies of equalities monitoring and grant report forms are available on the downloads page.
