FUNDING STRATEGY FOR 2020/2021 – Strategic Investment Fund

The fund has now been set up and Trustees have agreed the areas we want to focus on and a set of criteria, as follows:

Areas to Focus On:   BAMER, Food Poverty, Mental Health, Domestic Abuse, Housing Debt, Homelessness.

We welcome applications that:

• Cover a wide geographical area.
• Address inequalities.
• Target areas of high deprivation.
• Show long term sustainability/impact (capital investment/training & development)
• Aim to create a new service/contribute to getting a new service up and running, maybe through partnership working.
• Show evidence of partnership arrangements/collaboration with other groups.
• Look for matched funding opportunities to maximise the funding available.

We will assess on the quality of the bid and whether it aligns with our objectives.  We won’t necessarily fund equitably across all of the areas we want to focus on.  There will be an initial assessment of the bids and a presentation may be required at the next stage, prior to approval.

We are inviting applications in the region of £10k-£20k.
