We are delighted to announce the launch of the Woman to Woman fund. With grants of up to £25,000, no fewer than 100 local grassroots women’s organisations across the UK will be supported using funds from the ‘Tampon Tax.’
Grants are available for groups with an income of under £100,000 per year, to support a wide range of charitable work that benefits women: from building confidence and leadership skills, tackling harassment and violence, to training in financial literacy and increasing engagement in decision-making – and much more besides.
Rosa especially wants to support groups that work with disadvantaged communities or in disadvantaged areas. Grants can pay for core work, as well as mobilising volunteers, leadership development, communications and advocacy.
This bespoke workshop will be held from 9:30am prompt to 1:30pm at Community Action Wirral, St James Centre, 344 Laird Street, Birkenhead, Wirral, CH41 7AL in Teaching Room 2.
This is a new way to help you walk away with comprehensive information to complete your application … all in 4 hours. Attend the workshop with your small grants application drafted and end the day potentially ready to submit your application to the funder.
Small Grants funders discussed on the day will include Awards for All, Sport England’s Small Grants, Heritage Lottery’s Sharing Heritage, Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, Morgan Foundation and Children in Need.
We are excited to launch the Spirit of 2012 Spirit of Women Changemakers small grants programme, delivered by Fawcett in partnership with BE Group.
Spirit of 2012 (Spirit) created the Spirit of Women Changemakers small grants programme (Changemakers) to mark and celebrate the centenary of the iconic moment in 1918 when women first won the right to vote. Nearly 100 years later women’s rights have taken great strides but there remains much to do to ensure sex equality.
Changemakers will fund projects that creatively challenge the damaging gender norms and stereotypes which continue to limit women’s freedom to express themselves and live as the lives they choose.
Applications will only be considered if they fall within the following areas:
Children and young people who are isolated, at risk of exclusion or involved in anti-social behaviour.
Prisoners and ex-offenders. Projects that help the rehabilitation and resettlement of prisoners and/or ex-offenders are supported as well as requests to help prisoners’ families
Disadvantaged women, covering refuges, domestic violence and parenting.
Disability projects, which can include rehabilitation and training for people who are either physically disabled or learning disabled.
Arts outreach work by local groups involving disadvantaged people.
Projects that promote integration and community cohesion amongst minority groups, including refugees and travellers.
This new programme of grant funding will run biennially, starting in 2016 when there will be one million pounds available. We are inviting applications from educational and not-for-profit organisations for support for both short and long term projects. They can either build on proven models of success or test new approaches.
All applications must support Edge’s Strategic Priorities and must address at least two of the following five funding themes:
Improve the design and delivery of Information, Advice and Guidance
Support the development of profound employer engagement
Support the development of blended academic, technical and professional learning as part of the 14-19 curriculum
Support the development of high quality apprenticeships
Address areas of skills shortages for the UK economy.
The Baring Foundation is pleased to announce that applications have opened for our newest Funding Round of our Strengthening the Voluntary Sector programme.
This programme supports effective use of the law and human rights based approaches by the voluntary sector in the United Kingdom. It is a collaboration with the Legal Education Foundation and, this year, the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation.
Funding is available through two separate funds:
training, education and capacity building – seed funding grants of up to £30,000 over six months to two years that support organisations to understand how their objectives can be achieved through use of the law or human rights based approaches; and
applied projects – grants of up to £150,000 over approximately three years to create new capacity for work that addresses specific discrimination or disadvantage and safeguards the freedom of purpose, action and voice of the sector, linking the skills of ‘non-legal’ and ‘legal’ organisations to enhance and complement campaigns for social change. Organisations will be expected to demonstrate innovative approaches to using these tools and evidence of how they will collaborate to support a shared agenda.
