Thousands in community funding up for grabs
ORGANISATIONS making a difference in South Yorkshire are being encouraged to apply for a share of thousands of pounds in community funding to support their work.
Grants of up to £5,000 are available from South Yorkshire’s Community Foundation after SYCF opened its Community Grants Programme – made up of several funds provided by local donors.
SYCF is the largest grant giving charity in South Yorkshire and the last year awarded £1.7m to more than 400 groups across the region.
Groups in Rotherham, close to the Loscar Wind Farm, can be awarded up to £5,000 from SYCF’s Loscar Wind Farm Community Funds.
Jess O’Neill, grants and partnerships manager for SYCF, said: “Across South Yorkshire, we’re committed to helping groups to thrive and supporting grassroots groups with vital funding to make a difference in the communities they serve.”
The deadline for applications is 9am on Monday, January 20.
