The idea behind Skipton Building Society’s Grassroots Giving campaign is to help community organisations, or groups, who only have access to limited funding from elsewhere. Submissions are welcomed from community groups of all shapes and sizes – the programme is looking to support smaller groups who struggle to find funding elsewhere and is not open to registered charities. Grants of £500 are available.
Skipton Building Society are looking for applications from organisations or groups that show a real commitment to their local community.
Skipton Building Society are keen to support volunteer orientated groups, who are used to relying on minimal funds and the good will and generosity of members.
Skipton Building Society are looking for groups who are enhancing the lives of the neighbourhoods they are running within, as it's important to us to support people making a difference in communities across the UK.
In reviewing all submissions for funding, Skipton Building Society consider which requests in their opinion offer “the greatest chance to progress ideas and activities with a lasting impact.”
Skipton Building Society want their £500 to go as far as possible so are looking for groups with a real vision of how they would spend this money efficiently.
Applications should demonstrate a lasting impact and show you will be helping to build a legacy for your community project.
Shortlisted groups will be announced on the website during August and from 1 September online voting begins - giving the public the chance to show which groups are the most valued in their local communities.
The 2015 winners will be announced in November and the winners will receive their £500 contribution in December.
