The Fore grants

The Fore is offering grants of up to £15,000 to organisations. They aim to provide unrestricted grants that will help organisations to grow significantly. The Fore is particularly looking to fund small organisations that work with marginalised groups and led by people in the community that may have found it hard to access trust and foundation funding in the past. To apply for funding, organisations must go on The Fore website to register some basic contact details at the start of each funding round. Successfully registered organisations will then be invited to submit a simple application via a secure weblink by the deadline date noted on the website. For more details, please visit The Fore website.
