Individual grant recipients

Applying

• Complete the Individual Grant Application Form.
• You will need a KYC form, proof of identity and evidence of financial need, such as proof of benefits. If you do not have formal documents, a letter from a person of standing may be accepted.
• Once approved you may receive a Fundd card by post, or you can choose to be paid into a bank account.

Your annual limit

• Individual: up to £5,000 a year.
• Couple: up to £10,000 a year.
• Couple or household with three or more children: up to £15,000 a year.
• These are maximums, not entitlements. A husband and wife count as one household, and extra cards or accounts do not add to the limit.
• Your limit renews on the anniversary of your card being issued.

How grants are paid

• Grants are paid in multiples of £5.
• Normally you can receive one grant in any seven-day period. Grants from different grant accounts, or paid early before a holiday, can be exceptions.
• No single grant can be more than £3,000 under the normal process.
• Your card cannot be used for cash withdrawals, travel or wine.

Extra help

• You can apply separately for an exceptional grant for things like medical or disability costs, a wedding or another urgent need. You will need evidence.
• You can ask to transfer funds to another charity once Fundd has approved that charity.
