To apply for a grant, your project must be endorsed by a Mears Group employee. If you are an organisation, charity, or community group, the employee will submit the application on your behalf.

We recommend discussing your project with the employee to see if it fits the current Foundation grant criteria. As part of Mears Group, employees receive information about the Foundation and grant cycles internally, so they’ll know when funding opportunities are open.

This endorsement process ensures our colleagues, who are active in the communities we serve, are directly involved in identifying and championing causes they care about. The employee will act as the main link between your organisation and the Foundation, providing updates and passing information along.

If you already know someone at Mears, speak with them about your project and request their endorsement. If they have any questions, they can get in touch with the Foundation team, and we will be happy to help.
