Finance and fundraising hub
We know that being financially resilient and sustainable is particularly tough for grassroots organisations. We’ve created this hub to support you with this. It contains information about our flexible funding policy for applicants and funded partners, and resources to support you with finance and fundraising.
We know the imporance of core funding. In our Trailblazer Fund and Catalyser Fund, a proportion of the budget must always be spent on delivery costs. Beyond this, there are no rules on the amount or percentage of core funding people can request. Information about eligible costs, eligible activities, and match funding thresholds about each fund can be found in the respective fund guidance:
