There are 3 rounds of funding with the first deadline being at 23:59 on 9 May 2021
To celebrate, Boost will be offering community grants to various VCSE organisations including charities and community interest companies (CIC).
Examples of organisations that might benefit from the grant programme are:
- Homeless charities that help rough sleepers to find shelter and help provide them with the support they need.
- Community Groups that bring the local community together, whether it be through Sport, Art, Music or just generally providing a place for people to come together.
- Food banks that provide food and essential supplies for families or individuals in crisis.
Due to the high number of ideas expected in relation to the number of awards that can be made on this scheme, the funder has introduced an expression of interest stage which is done through Survey Monkey. This is a short questionnaire to allow them to get a feel for what you can do in your local community to demonstrate impact, diversity, and legacy.
It also allows them to see where you are based, what your organisation does, and gives you the opportunity to tell them how you would spend £1,000 – £10,000, if you were successful in securing funding through this scheme.
