Report: Coronavirus: Delivering financial support

By Hannah Page

This guide for grant-making to individuals was developed to help new funds establish their grant-making operations during the COVID-19 crisis. It features the key considerations for anyone thinking about establishing a new fund and shares insight into how our member charities are responding to COVID-19 and adapting their processes.

Helping Individuals in Need: A guide to good practice for charities

This toolkit is intended for those running a charity that gives grants to individuals in need.

Authored by Caroline Aldred and Clementine Cowl, the idea for this guide came out of the questions that arise frequently at ACO meetings such as ‘our trustees want to offer loans to applicants, but can we do this and what are the legal implications?’ or ‘how should we manage home visits?’ We hope that this guide will assist in finding answers to these questions.
