The criteria for the Small Grants Scheme can be found to the right of this page. Our criteria are regularly updated so please read this document carefully before making an application, even if you have applied for a grant from us before please refer to this criteria ^{(pdf, 207kb)}.

Please note that you cannot apply for funding retrospectively. We are rarely able to fund applications in full because of the level of demand, but we do make payments as soon as the awards are confirmed so that you have cash in the bank to spend rather than claiming it back at a later stage.

Funding Themes and priority outcomes: Dealing with peoples and communities' needs, and striving for positive change. Full details can be found here: Funding Themes and Priority Outcomes

Should you find you are eligible to apply to the scheme, please visit Flexigrant to complete your application.
