The Greggs Foundation believes in funding organisations helping to meet the needs of the local community.

The Greggs Foundation Community Grants programme recognises the essential role of local organisations in tackling the challenges facing communities. It will fund organisations to help build stronger, healthier communities by supporting community organisations who are providing services which address their local needs enabling people to widen their networks, reduce isolation and build their knowledge, confidence and opportunities.

Grants are to cover your core costs which are your essential running costs, for example rental costs or salaries and be available to community organisations (not-for-profit organisations) across the UK up to £20,000 per year for three years in specific locations.  This includes organisations based in Leeds, specifically LS7.

Organisations must focus on one or more of the following: 

• Addressing needs in the local community
• Providing food and support for individuals
• Reducing social isolation and widening networks
• Building knowledge, confidence and opportunities

Eligible organisations must be not for profit (e.g. charity or CIC) with an annual income between £25,000 and £1million; less than six months running costs in reserve; at least one year’s accounts on the Charity Commission or Companies House as well as at least three directors and/or trustees.  See the website for full details of eligibility.

Deadline for applications is noon on the 14th November.
