Women’s Sector Resilience Fund (DCMS)

The services Smallwood Trust is looking to fund must enable financial resilience amongst women in England. The fund is for organisations with an annual income of up to £1 million, and you can apply for a grant of between £20,000 – £30,000.

Smallwood Trust is assessing applications on an ongoing basis so apply as soon as you can. Final deadline is Tuesday 10th November 2020.

Covid-19 Frontline Women’s Fund

The COVID-19 Frontline Women’s Fund is being delivered by Smallwood Trust, supported by The National Lottery Community Fund. The fund will be used to provide support to organisations that are working with women most at risk of poverty and financial hardship due to the pandemic.

The fund is for organisations with an annual income of less than £250,000, and you can apply for a grant between £5,000 – £25,000.

This fund is open now and the final deadline is 5pm on Monday 16th November 2020.
