What we support

We recognise there are many amazing organisations working hard to reduce food waste and food insecurity across the UK. The Coronation Food Project grants programme provides funding opportunities to eligible organisations, as part of our efforts to drive innovation, collaboration and expansion in support of the Project’s overall aims.

The grants programme is a key element of the Coronation Food Project which seeks to provide flexible funding to inspire, empower and enable charities working to address food waste and support people facing food insecurity.

We are anticipating an extremely competitive funding round. Please review this page and the guidance notes in full before proceeding to apply for support.

Applications to the grants programme must demonstrate how the funding would be used to address one or more of the following:

  • Tackle food insecurity
  • Enhance capacity and capability in the food redistribution system
  • Build a more sustainable food system

As well as seeking out innovative ideas which could change the way we think and do things in the future, we will also support charities in need of funds just to keep doing more of what they already do well.
