Grassroots
As recognised independent grant making experts, we deliver schemes on behalf of other bodies, e.g. national charities, local and national public sector organisations, grant making trusts and Europe.
Grants and funding schemes within our Managed Programme generally have their own rules of eligibility with criteria and priorities chosen by the donor organisation. Our current Managed Programme includes the following, in alphabet-order:

To understand what you can expect from us, and what we will expect from you, read our new Charter
Please do not make separate applications for each Donor/Programme that you feel may be suited to your project - simply make one application and identify each one by name in the box headed: "What would you like to do with your grant?". If you are unable to use the on-line application form, email grants@cffc.co.uk for guidance - but remember that it can take much longer to get a decision on your application if you do not apply on-line.
