Grants: payment, timelines and bank accounts
How long payments take, what the Neighbourly Foundation is, and what to do if you don't have a charity bank account
This article explains how grant payments work once your application has been approved.
How long will it take for payment to reach us?
Payments are processed once a week. It can take 3–5 working days for funds to reach your bank account after the payment is sent. In total, you may wait up to 7 days from submitting your bank details to receiving payment.
What is the Neighbourly Foundation?
The Neighbourly Foundation (charity number 1189514) is an independent foundation that collaborates closely with Neighbourly. It administers all of Neighbourly's financial donation programmes. For more information visit neighbourly.com/TheNeighbourlyFoundation.
My organisation doesn't have a charity bank account — can I still receive a grant?
In some cases, yes. Payment can be made to a non-charity bank account if you provide all of the following:
- A bank statement from the account holder
- Written confirmation from someone else at your organisation that funds should be paid into this account
- Evidence linking the account holder to the organisation
