We are pleased to announce the fourth round of National Mikey Powell Memorial Family Fund grants will open early in November 2021. We are also administering the new UFFC Legacy Fund, which is earmarked for the child dependents of custody victims and their families.


Important: Affected families and/or campaigns will need to be registered on the NMPMFF website before applying for grants from the the general fund – various assessment partners are available to assist with applications.


This Funding round will officially open on 7 November 2021 and closes on 7 December 2021.


The main difference in this third round (compared to previous ones) is that grants will not generally be awarded/issued on a rolling basis, but rather final decisions will be made after the closing date on 7 December 2021.


The exception to the above will be if it is confirmed by an Assessment Partner that the need is significantly urgent, or if a Crisis Fund is deemed appropriate.


Fourth Round Family Fund Allocation:


The NMPMFF have set aside £6,000 to be distributed to applicants that meet the criteria for grants. However, where deemed appropriate, some applicants may be advised to apply for the fast-track support via the Crisis Family Fund for emergency needs.
