The Royal Brewery Fund’s priority is to encourage and support grass-root community activity. This means small, community-based and locally controlled groups that manage themselves, encourage active participation from volunteers, and have minimal cash reserves and limited access to funding support.
The fund does not support larger, more sophisticated organisations that have a track record of attracting funding, particularly when such groups have an income of more than £150,000 a year.
The Equity Foundation grants exist to ensure that grassroots community groups are able to access the resources they need to deliver in their communities.
There are currently three funding streams:
Equity Green Shoots Fund up to £2,500 - for projects with a clear focus on supporting people in to work and promoting financial inclusion.
Equity Healthy Communities Fund up to £2,500 - grants to support projects and groups whose primary aim is to improve or promote healthy living.
