Capacity Building Grants of up to £1,000 will support small community organisations to become stronger and more robust and better able to deliver projects that bring about lasting change. We appreciate that many organisations will now need this support more than ever before to improve their ability to deliver, both during and after the COVID-19 crisis.
These grants will also support organisations who have been impacted by COVID-19 to help begin a process to rebuild and be ready and better able to meet community need within the Comic Relief four strategic themes.
Your organisation should be able to provide evidence on why developing your capacity will enable you to more effectively deliver projects on the four strategic themes.
- Children Survive and Thrive
- Fighting for Gender Justice
- A Safe Place to Be
- Mental Health Matters
