Skipton Building Society’s Grassroots Giving community funding scheme has launched for 2017 and this year there is a total fund of £82,000 to help small groups and organisations make a difference in their neighbourhood, there 164 pots of £500 to give away. 
Grassroots Giving 2017 will, once again, donate pots of money to smaller, community minded organisations which would normally struggle to win funding. This will help a large number of organisations across the UK make a big difference to their neighbourhoods and communities.
Submissions are welcome from community groups of all shapes and sizes - registered charities are unable to apply, Skipton Building Society are looking to support smaller groups who struggle to find funding elsewhere.
In 2017, 164 groups will receive funding of £500 to help them build a brighter future in their local communities. Last year, our 163 deserving winners shared a total fund of £81,500, and they are now enjoying spending the money in their area, with communities all over the country reaping the benefits. Skipton Building Society are determined to give dozens more groups the opportunity to make a difference in 2017.
In 2016, hundreds of community groups, clubs and organisations from across the UK applied to Grassroots Giving last year and a staggering 38,000 votes were cast online and in Skipton’s branches by the public.
