Small and Medium Sized Grants Booklet

SMALL AND MEDIUM SIZED GRANTS BOOKLET FOR VOLUNTARY AND COMMUNITY ORGANISATIONS

November 2010 About this Booklet

This booklet has been developed to help voluntary and community organisations in Islington in their fundraising efforts. We aim at updating this booklet every 6 months. The footer at the bottom of the page will tell you when it was last updated.

This information has been compiled by the Development Team and funding advisors from other councils for voluntary services. It is not a complete list of all small grants available, but provides a starting point for voluntary and community groups looking for funding for their projects. Although we have made every effort to ensure all the information in this leaflet is correct, we recommend you check deadlines and criteria with the funders directly. Please also contact the funders directly to obtain application forms and further information about the grants.

To apply for any of the grants listed, you need a management committee, a governing document (constitution or memorandum & articles) and normally also a bank account, although some funders will allow another organisation to receive a grant on your behalf. You do not need to be a registered charity/company unless otherwise stated (however do check with the funder). Please note that many of the grant schemes are ongoing – if you miss a deadline, there might be another round. Contact the funders directly to find out. If you decide to apply for any of the grants, a Development Officer at Voluntary Action Islington can advise you with this process. If you would like someone to have a look at your application form before you post it or if you are unsure about any other aspects of your fundraising, please contact the Development team on : 0207 832 5801 and e-mail: [email protected]

Finally, note that this leaflet only contains a small number of trusts. For information about grant-making trusts, you can arrange to speak to someone in the Development Team.
