Groups can apply for funding to continue to deliver their existing activities, or to change and adapt to respond to new and future challenges; the Foundation knows that some groups are having to work differently because of the impact of the pandemic.
They are keen to support small, local organisations who may not previously have been funded by the Foundation and fit the eligibility criteria. The Foundation is particularly keen to reach groups who may not have experience in applying for grants and may need help to do so.
