Our Support

Funding Plus

Styal Prison, Prison Radio Association

Funding Plus is funding for capacity building provided to organisations we fund to help them achieve greater impact. The maximum Funding Plus award is £9,000.

If we currently fund you with a grant or social investment, you can apply for funding to commission tailored training, mental health & wellbeing support, strategy & organisational development, and communications consultancy. You can learn more about the full range of support available below.

Funding Plus is a responsive demand-led fund that enables organisations to make the most of opportunities and to receive support they might not otherwise be able to afford or prioritise. It should enable the work we’ve funded to have a greater impact.

Please note that as there is currently more demand for this type of support, we will be prioritising requests from organisations that:

  • Have not yet received Funding Plus support
  • Are led by and for communities experiencing racial inequity

Further information on the types of support available, how to apply, and our decision-making process, is below.

You may also find more support in useful sector resources, which has links to free resources and guides covering topics ranging from trustee recruitment to impact and evaluation.
