Funding is prioritised for organisations that are led by, or fully integrate in their decision-making, people with related lived experience, and to projects that allow organisations to make a big change to their reach, impact, or sustainability. The size of grant awarded will depend on a number of factors, including the size of organisation and the cost and scale of the capital project.
We fund both large and small projects.
The size of grant awarded will depend on a number of factors, including the size of your organisation and the cost and scale of your capital project. We do not fund projects of £15,000 or under for organisations with a turnover of more than £2 million. This means organisations with a turnover of more than £2 million cannot apply for a small grant.
