Grant News
The Trust for London has announced that the next closing date for applications is the 5th October 2021 at 1pm.
Each year the Trust awards around £8.5 million to community and voluntary organisations for new and innovative projects that address the root causes of London's social problems. In particular, the Trust wants to support work which falls under its seven funding programmes. These are:
- Good homes & neighbourhoods
- Better work
- Decent living standards
- Shared wealth
- Pathways to settlement
- Connected communities
- Stronger voices.
Whilst the Trust's funding priorities have remained the same, they are particularly interested in supporting work that:
- Responds to emerging needs as a result of the pandemic e.g. an increase in demand for advice, casework and representation
- Gathers evidence, data insights and learning about the impact of COVID-19 on London’s communities, particularly those who are on low incomes and disadvantaged
- Campaigning, advocacy work and strategic communications to strengthen the safety net and to bring about longer term change as a result of the pandemic
There is no minimum or maximum size of grant and the amount you request should be the amount needed. However, most grants will be around £80,000 over three years. The Trust will occasionally fund work to tackle poverty and inequality which falls outside the priority areas.
