Applications for grant funding are invited from registered charities, CICs and voluntary organisations who work with disadvantaged communities and/or people living within the Greater Manchester area. We welcome applications for all charitable purposes however we wish to focus our support on 4 priorities – reducing social isolation, preventing homelessness, emergency support for vulnerable families & children and improving access to employment.
Please Note:
- Our average grant award is £1,000. In exceptional circumstances larger grants, up to a maximum of £3,000, may be considered
- Grants are available to assist with the purchase or supply of amenities, activities or equipment to improve general welfare of the local community or individuals.
- New project costs, including staff costs for a specific period, may be considered
- Applications from an organisation that has received grant funding from The Charity Service previously will be considered but they must NOT be for the same purpose
- Applications to cover core costs and/or general running costs will NOT be considered
- We would NOT normally fund an organisation that has been constituted or registered for less than 3 years.
