22nd October 2020Isla Foundation – Immediate Impact Grants
Deadline 12th November
The Immediate Impact Grant responds to the needs expressed by local communities. These grants are for small-scale, short-term projects.
They award grants of between £300 and £2,000 for entrepreneurial individuals, voluntary/community organisations, schools/PTAs, clubs and societies in the UK. They can cover a wide range of projects aimed at creating positive changes in people’s lives and in their communities.
Examples of projects include (but are not limited to) improving community spaces, encouraging social cohesion through sport, art, community activities, or promoting education, the environment or health in the local community. Grants can also be used to test an idea through a pilot.
They need to match at least one of the following criteria:
- Work led by communities who have /have had direct experience of the issues at hand.
- Projects defined and implemented by the communities they are serving.
- Projects in need of small amounts of additional funding to transform new ideas into successful initiatives.
- Community heroes – if you, or someone you know, has played a pivotal role in a community response to the pandemic, or led efforts to make their community more inclusive, safe or welcoming.
