Projects should support people experiencing poverty, disadvantage or discrimination.

Your project should be designed with the people you support. You should:

• involve them in how it’s developed, delivered and led
• make use of their existing skills and interests
• complement and make connections with other services that support them.

Projects must meet one of these outcomes:

• Children, young people and families thrive.
• People have better relationships, connections, and physical or mental health.

See what we’re hoping to fund for details and priorities.

You can achieve both outcomes. But you will not improve your chances of getting funding by achieving both outcomes.

We offer funding from £20,001 to £500,000 for up to 5 years

We will talk to you about the length and amount of funding you can apply for when you contact us.

We want to fund different sizes of organisations and projects. But we expect that most of our funding will be for £250,000 or less.

We’re happy to fund organisations that have not had long-term funding before. By this we mean funding lasting 2 years or more. But we’re unlikely to offer them more than £100,000 in total.

We’ll fund new or existing projects.
