The Hodge Foundation provides practical, respectful financial support to people and communities when it matters most.
We focus on removing barriers, restoring hope, and creating pathways forward, always led by dignity, trust, and compassion.
What We Do.
How We Give
We know that applying for funding can be daunting, so we keep it simple. Twice a year—in September and May—we open applications and meet with people and groups who need funding. This allows us to build genuine connections and learn more about what you or your organisation.
Our support is delivered through three key areas:
-
Interest Free Loans

Quiet Kindness

Sponsorships and Grants
