SMALL AND MEDIUM SIZED GRANTS BOOKLETFOR VOLUNTARY AND COMMUNITY ORGANISATIONS
FEBRUARY 2019
About this BookletThis booklet has been developed to help voluntary and community organisations in Islington in their fundraising efforts. You can also access more funders by going to the Islington Funding Toolkit on our website http://www.vai.org.uk/services/support-for-groups/islington-funding-toolkit/funding-toolkit
We aim at updating this booklet every 6 months. The footer at the bottom of the page will tell you when it was last updated. This information has been compiled by the Development Team and funding advisors from other councils for voluntary services. It is not a complete list of all small grants available, but provides a starting point for voluntary and community groups looking for funding for their projects. Although we have made every effort to ensure all the information in this leaflet is correct, we recommend you check deadlines and criteria with the funders directly. Please also contact the funders directly to obtain application forms and further information about the grants. To apply for any of the grants listed, you need a management committee, a governing document (constitution or memorandum & articles) and normally also a bank account, although some funders will allow another organisation to receive a grant on your behalf. You do not need to be a registered charity/company unless otherwise stated (however do check with the funder). Please note that many of the grant schemes are on-going. if you miss a deadline, there might be another round. Contact the funders directly to find out. The New additions are highlighted in in blue both in the contents and on the pages.

About Crowd Funding
Crowdfunding is a way of raising finance by asking a large number of people each for a small amount of money. Until recently, financing a business, project or venture involved asking a few people for large sums of money. Crowdfunding switches this idea around, using the internet to talk to thousands – if not millions – of potential funders. Typically, those seeking funds will set up a profile of their project on a website such as those run by our members. They can then use social media, alongside traditional networks of friends, family and work acquaintances, to raise money. There are three different types of crowdfunding: donation, debt and equity. https://www.ukcfa.org.uk/
