The Drapers’ Charitable Fund supports charities, particularly in Greater London, working to improve the lives and aspirations of socially excluded and disadvantaged people and communities.
The Fund supports projects focused on education and young people, social welfare, and textiles and heritage. This includes textile conservation, textile-related skills and innovation, supporting young people entering the textile industry, and heritage projects connected to the armed forces, London’s history and the textile trade.
Applications can be made throughout the year and should normally be submitted at least four weeks before a Charities Committee meeting. The next meetings are 1 December 2026, 23 February 2027, 27 April 2027 and 22 June 2027. Find out more here.
