Fund details & criteria

Fund purpose

SNG's ConnectED Communities Fund will provide microgrants to groups working in SNG communities empowering local groups to take action, driving PROJECTS THAT CHAMPION FAIRNESS AND EQUALITY, CELEBRATE DIVERSITY AND CREATE PLACES WHERE EVERYNE FEELS THEY TRULY BELONG. Grants will assist in: • enhancing equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) across SNG areas • promoting EDI initiatives • supporting communities and residents with protected characteristics • advancing community cohesion and diversity • tackling inequalities We are particularly interested in projects and initiatives designed to support activities which challenge inequality, advance equality and celebrate diversity. We will prioritise applications from:  🔹 Smaller grassroots groups (income under £250,000)  🔹 Groups that specialise in delivering services for people from marginalised groups such as ethnic minorities, LGBTQ+ communities, religious groups, people with disabilities, women's or men's groups  🔹 Those led by or incorporating lived experience  🔹 Groups that operate within defined SNG communities where we have homes and whose work will directly benefit SNG communities ❌ Unfortunately WE ARE UNABLE TO FUND PROJECTS THAT ARE NOT TAKING PLACE WITH OUR SNG COMMUNITIES. Grants of up to £2000 will be available. The fund will open on Monday 12th January, and close on Friday 23rd February.
