Overview

Grassroots Giving was launched in 2013 to celebrate the Society’s 160th anniversary. Since then they have helped 975 community groups by donating £487,500 funding to help them build a brighter future in their local communities.

Is your organisation eligible to apply?

The idea behind the Grassroots Giving campaign is to help community organisations, or groups, who only have access to limited funding from elsewhere. For this reason, registered charities will not be able to request funding via Grassroots Giving. The Skipton Building Society Charitable Foundation, founded in 2000 is their dedicated funding stream for charities.

Applications are invited from:

Any community group based in the UK;
Where people involved in the group are all volunteers;
Where groups can show how a Grassroots Giving donation would benefit their community;
Where the donation would benefit vulnerable people e.g. homeless, elderly, deprived areas, etc

Online Voting

Shortlisted groups will be added to their website, under the relevant region, with a brief profile of the group and its activities, taken from the application. When voting opens there will be a ‘Vote Now’ button on the profile page of each shortlisted group. You simply click this, and enter your email address to vote.
