Round two grants
Our second stage of grant funding supports voluntary sector infrastructure, umbrella organisations and sector networks to connect to social investment. We received 82 applications from across the nine regions of England, which we whittled down to 33. Our trustees have just awarded £330,500 to eight organisations. A decision will be made on a further 24 applications in May 2018.
