ESG Diligence: The Key To Sustainable M&A Transactions
AAB / AABIE / Grant Round Funding
Fundraising for charities and other worthy causes has always been a key part of life at AAB. Through AABIE, we look for applications to our quarterly grant funding programme (information on application criteria and dates can be viewed below) and we are actively committed to supporting local charities across all of our communities which range in size, type, requirement and user groups.
In the short space of time that AABIE has been operating, we are so proud of everyone at AAB for raising funds that have had such a positive impact on our communities. From sports kits to medical research, vital medical equipment to residential trips, safety items for the elderly to supporting events; AABIE has been able to positively impact the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in our community.
If you are a charity within the communities we operate in, and are interested in applying for funding or volunteer time, find out more about our funding criteria below and application to AABIE here.
AABIE is open to receiving applications for funding or volunteer time in accordance with the funding criteria/terms and conditions as specified in points 1-12 below.
1. AABIE’s objective is:
To invest in the communities in which the AAB Group of businesses operate through the provision of financial and/or other support to further the aims of:
2. Generally, grant applications will only be made to charities, individuals and community groups who operate in and around AAB’s operating communities.
3. Consideration for grants will only be given in line with the AABIE aims at 1 above. Please see below details of things we will not fund:
4. The AABIE Trustees reserve the right to consider all grant applications individually and on their own merit and from time to time add to our main grant making criteria
5. Applications can only be accepted from organisations which have not applied for funding in the last 12 months, for example if your application was submitted during a June grant round, you are welcome to apply again from the next June grant round
6. All charities applying for local community grants must be a registered charity
7. Favourable consideration will be given where funds applied for will have a direct benefit to people’s quality of life, and where donations will benefit those in vulnerable circumstances
8. The grant should be capable of having a clear and meaningful impact, for example:
9. Grant applications must be accompanied by the most recent annual review and audited accounts of the organisation seeking the grant
10. A governance structure should be in place to allow AABIE to monitor the impact of the investment
11. Where an application has been successful, allocated funds should be used for the original purpose stated in the application
12. Where an application has been successful the grant funds awarded are only held for a period of 12 months. Thereafter, AABIE reserves the right to withdraw the allocated funds
Timing of Applications:
Applications are submitted on an ongoing basis. The board of trustees meets four times a year after each grant deadline and will reply to successful and unsuccessful applications shortly thereafter. Applications should be received by the specific deadline date (dates of the meetings can be confirmed by emailing aabie@aab.uk).
