Overview
United St Saviour's Charity has supported people in Southwark since 1541. Its Community Investment Programme includes Devolved Grants, which aim to reach grassroots and early-stage organisations quickly and fairly. These grants are delivered through trusted partners. The charity describes itself as a place-based, relational funder. It builds long-term partnerships rooted in trust, invests flexibly so organisations have stability, and works alongside partners rather than above them. Devolved Grants suit small, local organisations that are rooted in Southwark and working towards a fairer, more inclusive borough. The charity looks for strong local relationships and delivery. It also looks for organisations that share its values of equity, power and prevention. Everything it funds is guided by three principles: equity, empowerment and prevention. Devolved Grants sit alongside two other strands. Core Grants offer long-term, unrestricted funding for organisations with a turnover of between £100,000 and £500,000, with one annual open call. Strategic Partnerships are issue-based, collaborative programmes tackling some of the borough's most entrenched inequalities. Be careful not to mix these up, as the turnover band belongs to Core Grants. The funder's page does not give award sizes or a closing date for Devolved Grants. Because the grants are delivered through partners, it is worth finding out which partner is running the fund that suits you. Official source: https://www.ustsc.org.uk/community-investment/.
