Who can apply

• Large grants: To be eligible for this fund, your community group must have a constitution and not be set up for individual profit.

• Micro grants: You can apply for a micro-grant if you are an individual or a community group looking for financial support for a good cause in your local area. You do not need to meet the same criteria as the large project fund and the application process is more straightforward.

When to apply

The fund is currently closed to applications.

How to apply

The large fund and micro-grants each have their own application process and eligibility criteria, and guidance for how to apply can be found on the funder's website.
