Cost of Living Uplift Grants
In recognition of the financial pressures being experienced by grantholders due to high inflation, we invited organisations who were awarded multi-year grants from our core grants ‘pot’ prior to March 2022 and whose funded work continued beyond April 2023, to apply for a 10% uplift to their current annual grant (up to a maximum of £10,000), to help with their rising costs.
During the year we have distributed £95,500 to 14 grantholders.
