Groundwork – Grassroots Grants

Groundwork – Grassroots Grants provides unrestricted funding for small, local organisations in England who are making a positive difference in their communities.

When applying, the funder will prioritise the following:

• Have an annual income of £50,000 or under
• Funding is for work in communities that rank as being within the top 15% on the English Indices of Deprivation
• Organisations that work with and support communities that are classed as marginalised or vulnerable

Groundwork want to support groups that provide vital services in their local communities such as:

• Access to food or basic essentials
• Improvements to local greenspaces
• Cultural, support or wellbeing activities
• Volunteering opportunities to improve the local environment or support other people

This funding can be used for anything within an organisation’s charitable/constituted objects apart from what is listed in the ‘What can’t we fund’ list in the guidance.

The Grassroots Grants Programme is provided by the Postcode Local Trust, Postcode Places Trust, and Postcode Society Trust, and is administered by Groundwork.
