Sport England Emergency response funding
Sport England will be announcing early next week an emergency fund package and grants for longer-term support as a result of the coronavirus outbreak. We will be announcing more information through our social channels as soon as the details are confirmed.
Gloucestershire Community Foundation – grants supporting communities affected by the Coronavirus outbreak: no closing date.
This emergency grant will offer Gloucestershire-based charitable and community organisations funding to support emerging challenges faced within local communities as a result of the continuing threat of coronavirus.
The initial focus is on providing emergency grants to coordinated volunteer programmes who play a key role in helping the most vulnerable such as foodbanks, counselling services, advice organisations and befriending services.
At the moment the maximum grant size will be £5,000 although many will be in the region of £1,000 and this will be reviewed as the situation develops.
You do not have to be a registered charity to apply, as long as the work you do has charitable aims.
Running costs for organisations will be supported, including staff costs, volunteer expenses and transport costs. Small capital costs are also eligible.
