Funding for Projects that Improve People’s Lives
Grants of between £20,000 and £60,000 per year for up to three years to charities and not-for-profit organisations, including social enterprises. Grants can cover running costs, salaries and project costs for organisations that can demonstrate a track record of success and can evidence the effectiveness of their work.
