Community Grants Programme

The Community Grants Programme is part of our commitment to build support for donation amongst Black, Asian, mixed heritage and minority ethnic communities.

The programme funds community and faith/beliefs organisations to drive awareness, understanding and behaviour change.

We know that trusted local organisations can be effective at achieving these goals due to their specialist knowledge, understanding and footprint in the community.

Frequently asked questions

Key information about the application and judging process.

Organ donation and ethnicity

For many patients in need of a transplant the best match will come from a donor from the same ethnic background.

Why we need Black donors

We need Black donors because of a rise in demand for some rare blood types that are more common in people of Black heritage.
