Grant News
The government has announced that £500,000 in funding is available for local communities in England and Northern Ireland to hold events celebrating the Windrush Generation and their positive impact on modern Britain.
Charities, community groups, and councils can apply for grants to fund parades, educational resources, arts and sporting projects. Proposals should clearly demonstrate how their project will work with local community partners. These might include but are not limited to organisations such as museums, libraries and schools.
The minimum amount available for each project is £5,000 and the maximum is £50,000. This year, there are 2 tiers of funding:
- Tier 1: smaller projects, of a value between £5,000 and £24,999
- Tier 2: larger projects, of a value between £25,000 and £50,000
The funding is being made available through the Windrush Day Grant Scheme, which is administered by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.
Applications from outside Greater London and the South East are encouraged.
Consortium bids will also be accepted.
Applications must be submitted by 11:59pm on the 25 November 2024.
