Grassroots Giving

28 Jun 2013 - 10:20 by michelle.foster

This year, as Skipton Building Society celebrates its 160th anniversary, they have allocated 160 donations of £500 to help fund development for grassroots organisations in our communities.

The idea behind the Grassroots Giving campaign is to help community organisations, or groups, who only have access to limited funding from elsewhere. For this reason, registered charities will not be able to request funding via Grassroots Giving.
