If you are a community group or VCSE organisation in Leeds or Bradford and are thinking about applying for grant funding, this online briefing is a useful opportunity to understand what funding is available and how to apply.

Leeds Community Foundation, working alongside GiveBradford, is hosting an open grants briefing to walk organisations through current and upcoming funding opportunities.

What the briefing will cover

The session will introduce Leeds Community Foundation and GiveBradford and explain how their grant programmes work in practice. This includes:

  • the application process

  • standard grant criteria

  • how funding decisions are made

  • reporting and evaluation requirements for successful applicants

The team will also talk through any grants that are currently open for applications, as well as those due to open soon. Key criteria will be explained, and there will be time for questions.
