About this grant

The Drapers' Charitable Fund, run by The Drapers' Company, makes grants of up to £20,000 to charities, with larger grants awarded selectively. Its priorities are social welfare (homelessness, prisoners and their families, veterans, hardship, community and family support and older people), education and young people in Greater London (including NEET young people and literacy and numeracy), and textiles and heritage. Applications are accepted at any time and are considered by the Charities Committee, which meets five times a year; the next meetings are 1 December 2026 and 23 February 2027, and applications should arrive at least four weeks before a meeting.
