Groundwork Grassroots Grants Programme

Groundwork are accepting applications for grants of up to £2,000 for constituted charities, community interest companies (CICs), and voluntary and community groups with an annual income of less than £25,000 across England that are working to make a positive difference in their local communities.

The Grassroots Grants Programme will support the work of groups that provide vital services in their local communities. Priority will be given to:

• Groups with an annual income of £25,000 or under.
• Groups working in communities that rank as being within the top 15% on the English Indices of Deprivation.
• Groups that work to support communities classed as marginalised or vulnerable.

The funding programme is unrestricted and can be used flexibly for costs such as paying staff or volunteer expenses, costs for equipment or materials, core, ongoing running costs, training of staff and volunteers, or consultant time to help develop the organisation or key policies.
