Unrestricted grants are available for smaller charities and good causes in the north of England.
The funding aims to support smaller charities and good causes in the north of England to make a difference to their community for the benefit of people and planet.
In 2024, grants range from £500 to £25,000.
The amount of grant depends on the type of not-for-profit legal structure:
Applicants that are not formally registered as a charity with the Charity Commission can apply for between £500 and £2,500 in funding. These grants are intended for constituted organisations with no charity number, excepted and exempted charities and companies limited by guarantee with an asset lock
Applicants that are registered with the Charity Commission and can provide a charity number can apply for between £500 and £25,000 in funding. These grants are intended for community interest companies with an asset lock (schedule 1 and 2 only), community benefit societies, and charities registered with the Charity Commission.
To be eligible, applicants must have:
An income of less than £1 million in the most recent financial year.
A governing document in the name of their organisation with charitable objectives.
A UK bank account in the name of their organisation with two unrelated signatories.
Signed accounts with income and expenditure for the most recent financial year or a 12 month financial forecast with income and expenditure for new organisations.
The funding is for projects in the North of England that have a clear alignment with one of the Trust’s 2024 themes:
- Enabling participation in physical activity
- Enabling participation in the arts
- Preventing or reducing the impact of poverty
- Supporting marginalised groups and tackling inequality
- Improving biodiversity and responding to the climate emergency
- Improving green spaces and increasing access to the outdoors
- Providing support to improve mental health with a focus on organisations that are actively supporting specific mental health issues rather than general mental wellbeing activities.
The funding offered is unrestricted and therefore flexible. It can be used however it is most needed.
The funding should be spent within 18 months.
