Eligibility summary

Available in: England.
Most relevant to: Charity & Nonprofit.

Notes: Organisations can only receive funding from this pot once every two years — no reapplying within 24 months of a previous award. Described on the council's own page as 'not a small grants fund': most awards are over £5,000, though smaller requests are considered case-by-case.
Requirement: Sefton-based voluntary, community, or social enterprise organisations (and, for town/village/neighbourhood centre projects, local businesses) with a clearly identified need for the project, ideally demonstrating partnership working with other organisations. General running costs and staff posts not attributable to a specific project are not funded.
