First, a note for all of those who have attended one of my workshops over the last few weeks to get support in applying for the One Community Grassroots Fund. Round Two is now OPEN with a deadline of 1st June 2024.
Here is a direct link to the application form.
The Grassroots Grant Fund is designed to support small community projects that foster local empowerment, pride in place, and enhance life chances within the Kirklees area.
This funding is being provided by The UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) which is part of the UK government’s Levelling Up agenda.
Below you can find a recorded version of the ‘Getting Started with Grants’ workshop I’ve been running to encourage applications to this fund. However, the majority of the content in the workshop will be relevant to all groups looking to apply for funding for their project, regardless of whether or not they are eligible to apply for this particular pot.
In the workshop I cover:
An introduction of how to apply for grants
We use the One Community Grassroots Grant Fund application as an example, but the questions are similar to those you’ll find on any small funding application
Local & National Funding Opportunities
Resources & Support
