From Spring 2021, The Fore is returning to its standard offer of grants of up to £30,000, which can be spread over up to 3 years. The Fore make unrestricted grants which have the potential to have a transformational impact on an organisation. Transformational impact includes helping an organisations become more sustainable, more efficient, to grow significantly or enabling an organisation to take a major step forward of some kind. The Fore see their grants as investments in the organisations we support.
The Fore is particularly looking to fund small organisations working with marginalised groups and led by people in the community that may have found it hard to access trust and foundation funding in the past. The funding process is specifically designed to level the playing field and give no advantage to those with fundraising experience or connections.
Any registered charity, CIC, CIO or Community Benefit Society with turnover of under £500,000 in the last financial year is eligible to apply.
To apply for funding, organisations must first register some basic contact details at the start of each funding round. The number of registrations accepted for each round is capped. Registration is run on a first-come, first-served basis. Once the cap is reached, the round is closed, so register early.
Successfully registered organisations are invited to submit a simple application within 4-6 weeks.
Registration for the Fore Spring 2021 Funding Round opened on 7 January 2021, 10am and closes on 25 January 2021, 5pm.
