Grant information
Our focus is on supporting smaller, grassroot organisations. Generally, we make grants of between £1,000 and £5,000 to non-profit organisations including:
- Charities
- Charitable incorporated organisations
- Companies limited by guarantee
- CICs limited by guarantee
- Constituted community organisations
Please refer to ‘open’ grant funding opportunities for the criteria of the fund you are applying to.
If you have a question about our grant making and our grant processes, please access our general Application Guidance page, Guidance on filling out the Application, FAQs and Grant Policy.
We would love to be able to fund all the good work we receive bids for, however demand for grants exceeds our funds; we can often fund less than half the grant applications we receive.
Please note, we do not currently offer hardship grants for individuals.
