The idea behind the Grassroots Giving campaign is to help community organisations, or groups, who only have access to limited funding from elsewhere. If you are a small group that is working to help those in your local neighbourhood this is for you.
Skipton Building Society - Grassroots Giving are looking:
• For applications from organisations or groups that show a real commitment to their local community
• to support volunteer orientated groups, who are used to relying on minimal funds and the good will and generosity of members -we know we can make a real impact here
• for groups who are enhancing the lives of the neighbourhoods they are running within, as it's important to us to support people making a difference in communities across the UK
• For requests which offer “the greatest chance to progress ideas and activities with a lasting impact.”
Skipton Building Society want their £500 to go as far as possible and are looking for groups with a real vision of how they would spend this money efficiently.
If your application demonstrates a lasting impact, you will be helping to build a legacy for your community project, and this is what they’re looking to support.
