Prosper Small Grants Round 2025

Prosper Wakefield's 2025 grants round is offering unrestricted small grants, offering flexible funding of up to £5,000 per organisation. You can use the funding where you need it most - this may be paying core costs, running a project, buying equipment and materials, salaries, or something else entirely.

Prosper are asking that applicants share how their organisation supports connectivity in their community.

What we mean by connectivity

Prosper are looking to fund organisations that help people connect. They believe that connection underpins wellbeing, belonging, opportunity, and support, and it is one of Prosper’s key priorities. Your work might support connection in one or more of the following ways. If you are unsure about if or how the work that you are doing relates to connectivity, please get in touch and we can assist.  

• Social and emotional connection - creating opportunities for people to come together, reduce isolation, and build relationships.
• Tackling social exclusion - improving access to services or reaching those on the edge.
• Opportunities - connecting people with new opportunities, and or/developing skills and confidence.
• Transport connectivity - helping people get where they need to go.
• Digital inclusion - tackling barriers to access, tech use, or digital literacy.
• Collaborative working - working in partnership with other VCSEs to build stronger networks and shared solutions.

You don’t need to tick every box. Just explain in a few words how your work helps people feel more connected.

Prosper will be running an online Q&A session on Tuesday 16 July at 10am.
