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.
Applications are asked to demonstrate a lasting impact, that will build a legacy for your community project. The application asks for details on how you will use £500 to establish results for the long-term
After the closing date a shortlist of entries that meet the criteria will be created and the applications will be placed into regional groups. Each application will be summarised and posted on this website in August. At which point, it’s over to the nation to vote.
