Overview

Who can apply?

  • Registered charities

  • Credit Unions.

Priority is given to smaller organisations to help build capacity.

What is funded?

Projects must fit under at least one of the following themes:

‘Explorer’

- improving people’s knowledge e.g. money management workshops to help unemployed people manage their money;

‘Transformer’

– supporting skills and experience for any age group to reduce social isolation e.g. training to help socially isolated people develop skills to get back into work, activities to help older people learn a new skill and develop friendships;

‘Changemaker’

– innovative solutions to social challenges e.g. a new social networking program for visually impaired young people to access the internet.

Key Information

  • General ongoing running costs cannot be considered by this fund. Costs must be specifically for the delivery of an identified project;
  • Projects over 12 months are not eligible for support;
  • Please note that there is sufficient budget for 12 grants to be approved, therefore competition will be extremely high and unfortunately it is likely that many more applications will be declined than approved.
