When applying for their Inclusion and Inspiration Grant Programmes, please bear in mind:
Priority will be given to applications that are client-led, show how their work meets funding priority aims, and/or how it inspires others.
As long as it is clearly demonstrated that it supports their Inclusion and Inspiration Grant Programmes, you can apply for a specific project or for a contribution to core running costs.
They will fund core costs for eligible organisations to help them recover from the impact of Covid-19.
Social enterprises like CICs are not eligible for day to day core cost funding.
If it supports their inclusion and inspiration objectives, they will consider purchasing small items of equipment like furniture and computers. Requests for larger capital funding will be considered, but must be backed up by a robust business case.
