The Agape Foundation of London is offering grants to assist in the development of the London area community through grants and special awards to non-profit, charitable groups concerned with education, the arts, recreation, social services, health, and the environment.
The Agape Foundation of London makes grants for start up costs both capital and operating to new organizations intending to provide services of facilities that respond to a documented need in the community.
Grants will also be considered for established organizations whose services will no longer be available to the community without short-term funding.
