Overview
Microgrants are open throughout the year while funds allow. The limit is £700 per year, and repeated work can receive up to three years of support in one application. The annual figure is not presented as a total-award cap. The separate larger-grant round of up to £3,500 is closed and is expected to reopen in 2027.
Requirements to check
Key requirements:
- Private businesses, individuals, retrospective costs, statutory duties, political activity and commission-based fundraising are excluded. Faith groups need wider community benefit. CICs and CBSs must meet additional asset-lock and governance requirements; their trading costs and general overheads are not funded, but charitable projects and attributable full cost recovery can qualify.
- The named guidance excludes national organisations and affiliates. Confirm local-branch eligibility with Two Ridings before applying.
Small local charities, voluntary and community groups and other not-for-profit organisations serving Birstwith, Felliscliffe, Hampsthwaite, Haverah Park with Beckwithshaw, Menwith with Darley, Norwood and Washburn. Guidance targets annual income below £500,000 and requires charitable governing rules and an organisation bank account with two unrelated signatories. General guidance requires three unrelated decision-makers. Parish councils may apply for wholly charitable projects outside their usual remit.
