SYCF Small Grants Programme

These grants are intended for small, developing and less well-resourced groups and organisations from across South Yorkshire, where small amounts of funding can make a real difference. Groups applying for the programme should not have an annual income of more than £10,000.

Organisations / groups do not have to be a registered charity and the majority of grants are one-off payments of up to a £1,000.

Who can apply?

Not-for-profit organisations that can demonstrate how they will address some of the following needs to pay a for one-off event or equipment. If your group or activity will not meet these priorities listed below, you can still apply but it is less likely that you will receive funding from us.

We are interested in hearing from:

• Groups that respond to their communities’ needs.
• Activities or projects that will support people whose needs can be clearly demonstrated.
• Groups whose main activities focus upon the advancement of education, promotion of good health or the relief of poverty and sickness.
• Groups that work in collaboration with other local community groups.
• Activities or projects that will engage people who face discrimination or disadvantage.
• Activities or projects that will produce a wide range of benefits and provide good value for money.
