The Inclusive Recovery Fund will close tomorrow (Friday 13) at 5pm. The fund is awarding grants of between £10,000 and £50,000 to non-profits delivering new services that have emerged as a result of the pandemic, projects that will ensure future resilience, recovery and growth, and those delivering existing services/projects that are performing well and have the potential to accelerate an organisation’s growth and impact. Funding can be used towards costs such as goods and equipment, salaries and other overheads. Find out more.

Charities and community groups operating in Scotland can apply for grants of between £1,000 and £5,000. For the time being, non-profits can still apply for funding under Foundation Scotland’s ‘Recovery’ phase. Find out more.
Tuesday 10 November
The Sylvia Waddilove Foundation UK grants
The Sylvia Waddilove Foundation UK is awarding grants of up to £1,000 to small/medium-sized organisations that are ‘struggling to manage the financial impact of COVID-19 either because of increased demand for services or loss of income’. Funding can be used towards staff costs and other overheads, changes to work practices (such as the purchase of laptops or remote access technology), deep cleaning of premises, or towards delivering services which have seen an increase in demand as a direct result of the coronavirus pandemic.
