All Funding

Voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations with creative ideas to tackle homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying in England's schools and playgrounds are being encouraged to apply to the one-off £2 million fund.

Grants of between £100,000 and £750,000 are expected to be awarded for projects that are innovative, sustainable, of national significance, and support one, or more, of the following suggested areas:

Grow Wild is awarding funding of £1,000 to £4,000 to community groups that want to bring people together to transform a communal space by sowing and growing UK native plants.

If your group has an inspiring idea to connect people to nature, then apply before 2 December 2014 for your chance to join the lively network.

Grow wild are looking to fund at least 60 groups in 2015 across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The Shop Direct Charitable Foundation aims to support charities, voluntary and community groups who work with, or run projects for, children and young people.

The focus of the fund is to create safe and inspiring environments for children and young people that impact positively on local social need.

Grants of between £2,000 and £7,000 are available.

What can be funded?
Core costs if there is a sustainability plan in place, capital costs but not in relation to building refurbishment or vehicles.

The Golden Bottle Trust and the Bulldog Trust are seeking to make small to medium sized grants (£1,000 - £30,000 over a maximum of 3 years) to new and existing organisations to enable them to get closer to achieving their goals.

For many organisations looking to finance new projects, seeking funding can be extremely difficult and in some cases, impossible. Common problems include time consuming application processes, minimum grant levels being too high, the project not fitting into a specific funding category or the organisation not meeting the strict criteria often required.
