The Large Grant Programme supports national charities whose work aligns with our Foundation’s mission to create meaningful, lasting impact across the UK. This funding opportunity is closely tied to The Arora Ball, our flagship fundraising event, and includes both financial support and collaborative involvement in the Ball itself.
Apply for funding through our online application form, which will be available on our website on the day the grant round opens.
Please note: Applications submitted outside of this period will not be considered.
We encourage applicants to provide clear, compelling information about their organisation’s mission, impact, and how the grant would be used to further their work. The application form will also ask for details on your charity’s reach, governance, and financials.
In-person session for shortlisted charities
Shortlisted charities will be contacted on the 14th January via email with an invitation to attend the in-person pitching session.
We view this partnership as more than just funding - it's a celebration of your work and a chance to amplify your message to a wider audience.

Following Pitching Day, only successful charities will be notified of the outcome and next steps by email. Emails: will be sent from charitygrants@thearoragroup.com so please check your spam mail.
