Funding to Help BAME-Led Organisations Access Coronavirus Funds

In response to the coronavirus, the UK Community Foundations is making a £250,000 Infrastructure Fund available for BAME-led infrastructure organisations that can help other BAME-led organisations apply for National Emergency Trust (NET) grants though their local Community Foundations.

Grants of between £50,000 and £20,000 are available to fund work such as for example:
• Awareness-raising via marketing and communications
• Mentoring/supporting of groups through the local Community Foundation application process
• Support with monitoring and reporting
• Provision of micro grants to enable applications for NET funding through community foundations
• Building relationships to help community foundations identify and address barriers to funding BAME-led organisations and communities

Applications can be made on a rolling basis and will be considered by an independent panel every week with awards made as quickly as possible thereafter.
