Eligibility summary

  • Available in: England.
  • Most relevant to: Charity & Nonprofit.
Notes
No retrospective funding; cannot fund religious/political activity or school curricular activities; a safeguarding policy and DBS evidence are required for work with children or vulnerable adults. Correction: this is not a rolling scheme — there are four fixed application deadlines a year (end of May, August, October, and January); the original officialUrl 404'd and has been replaced with the working area-committee hub page. Five near-identical area-specific pages exist (Bradford East/South/West, Keighley and Ilkley, Shipley) — the one linked is Bradford East's as a verified example.
Requirement
Non-profit voluntary organisation with open membership, operating in or benefiting a specific Bradford constituency; normally one grant per organisation per financial year.
