Asda Foundation Cost of Living Fund

Asda's charity, Asda Foundation, is committed to supporting local communities through grant giving and we believe it takes a whole community working together to improve people's lives.

This grant is designed to support the increased running costs groups will face between September 2022 and February 2023, including rent increases and electricity cost rises. The term 'warm banks' has emerged in recent months encouraging community locations this winter to remain open for longer to provide people with a warm, safe place to be rather than heating homes or living in a cold property. Are you a community group that are going to open longer to support individuals in your local area and provide a warm place to be?

There are TWO options within this grant. Groups must be clear from the outset which option they intend to apply for: A) Increased rent and utility bill support B) Increased food costs support.

How much can I apply for and when?

Groups can apply for Cost of Living Grant in addition to one other grant or Green Token Giving.
Applications must be submitted to your local Community Champion from 19th September and the application window will remain open until the budget cap has been reached. Therefore, please aim to submit applications to Community Champions as soon as possible.
Funds can be spent from September 2022 to February 2023.
