Grassroots Grants
The South Yorkshire Community Foundation is the region's spearhead for the national £130 million 'Grassroots Grants' scheme.
Grassroots Grants, which is funded by the Office of the Third Sector will run for three years and is split into two parts, an £80 million small grants fund, and £50 million endowment challenge.
Through the small grants fund the Foundation is able to distribute grants of £250-£5000 to small grassroots community groups in Barnsley, Rotherham and Sheffield only. Doncaster Central Development Trust will be administering the fund in Doncaster and prospective applicants should contact Steve Szostak on 01302 735762 for an application pack and further information.
The endowment challenge provides the opportunity to offer government matched funding to those that set up new endowments with the Foundation. For every pound donated, another pound is added from government monies, doubling the capacity for community support.
