Over the past few months, Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation has been working closely with the wider philanthropy sector and our charitable partners to review and enhance our grant-giving process. Our goal has been to ensure that we continue to provide the most meaningful support we can. 

We’re excited to share that this review is now complete, and we’ll soon be relaunching our funding pathways with fresh updates and improvements designed to make the grant experience even more impactful and accessible.

Stay tuned — more details will be available in the second half of 2025.
