Residents in Greater Manchester can nominate a good cause to receive £1,000 as part of Benefact Group’s Movement for Good Awards.
Now in its fifth year, the Movement for Good Awards will once again see more than £1million gifted to charities up and down the UK and Ireland.
Since the awards began, people in Greater Manchester have submitted over 42,800 nominations and 81 Greater Manchester based charities have benefited from valuable donations.
While the pandemic and the current economic climate has had an adverse effect on cash donations, the amount of people choosing to volunteer their time for a good cause is rising. From today, Greater Manchester residents can give a minute to nominate a charity online at www.movementforgood.com
The Movement for Goods Awards has gifted over £4million to charities in the UK and Ireland since the initiative started.
Winners will be drawn at random and the more times a charity is nominated the more chance it has of being selected. 150 winning charities will be announced from 1 June, with a further 150 revealed in September. Further gifts will be awarded throughout the year.
Benefact Group’s Movement for Good Awards is giving away over £1million to help charities change lives for the better.
150 £1,000 grants will be given away in June, a further 150 £1,000 grants will be donated in September, followed by 120 £1,000 grants which will be given away in December. £200,000 will also be given away in £5,000 special grants, and £500,000 will be given in larger grants of £10,000 or more later this year.
The £1,000 awards are open to all UK-registered charities. Anyone can nominate a registered charity at any time for the chance to receive £1,000.
