Advice and support
Whether you're looking for support for your charity or you'd like to start your giving journey, here is some useful information and guidance.
Which charities are eligible for grants?
The criteria for a grant can vary from funder to funder, meaning eligibility for a grant can vary significantly.
Sometimes, grants are available to eligible individuals, such as disadvantaged members of the community facing financial, physical or emotional hardship, poor living circumstances. A grant might also support a specific project or talent the individual wishes to pursue without the means to do so.
Eligible applications for a grant might include registered charity groups, local community centres, CICs, social enterprises, and even community groups/organisations that aren't registered as charities.
The grants you might want to apply for will be dependent on many factors, so be sure to fully read the criteria of each grant on a funder's website before you take the time to apply.
