Persimmon say a total of £200,000 is available, with applications now open for two £50,000 donations, which will be awarded in May.
A second round of funding will open in June, with an additional two £50,000 donations awarded in September.
The latest winners in Wales were the charity arms of both Cardiff City and Swansea City football clubs.
Cardiff City FC Community Foundation delivers a range of impactful initiatives that engage individuals and communities, offering opportunities to develop skills, improve well-being, and foster community cohesion.
Swansea City AFC Community Foundation runs innovative programmes that address challenges such as social isolation, health inequalities, and educational gaps, focussing on building prosperity by inspiring educational achievement and entrepreneurial spirit.
Persimmon say the aim of the programme is to give more charities and community groups the opportunity to access Foundation donations. Applications are encouraged from organisations that focus on social mobility and youth development, including learning and training.
Anthony Vigor, Chair of the Foundation, said: “This new open application programme will create new opportunities for us to support organisations that tackle inequality and aid social mobility, helping us to change more lives.”
The deadline for applications for the first round of funding is 11.59pm on Sunday, April 13th. Charities can apply via the Foundation section of the Persimmon Corporate website at persimmonhomes.com/corporate/foundation
