Momentum
Grant
Up to £5,000
We offer grants of up to £5,000 to support initiatives across the UK which are bringing compassion to conversations about death, dying and bereavement. We want to help create welcoming spaces and thoughtful activities that encourage people to talk openly, share experiences, and better understand the choices available to them.
Whether it’s a community event, creative project, workshop or informal gathering, our funding is there to help ideas take shape. We’re here to help grassroots initiatives grow and make a meaningful difference close to home.
