Grant News
A new fund has been launched to support community and voluntary organisations in Plymouth that are working to address violence against women and girls, domestic abuse, and sexual violence (VAWGDASV).
The Violence Against Women and Girls Fund will award a total of £35,000 in funding for organisations supporting the Plymouth VAWGDASV strategy. This includes:
- Promoting positive cultural change around VAWGDASV
- Increasing safety of women and girls in the city
- Delivering effective support and services to adult and child survivors of VAWGDASV
- Preventing the development of misogyny and harmful attitudes among young people that enables VAWG
- Delivering culturally informed services that are responsive to communities of protected demographic groups
- Interventions which increase influence, voice and representation in order to push for more widespread, lasting change
- Interventions which engage with those who harm
Grants of up to £5,000 are offered to cover core, staff, and activity costs.
The funding is made available by the Devon Community Foundation in partnership with Plymouth City Council and the Sedel-Collings Foundation.
Organisations with an annual income of £250,000 or less are eligible to apply.
The fund is offered through Devon Community Foundation’s Small Grants application process, with applications accepted on a rolling basis.
