Groundwork Yorkshire
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Groundwork Yorkshire's stated focus on environmental and social justice, and its themes of environmental conservation, regeneration and poverty relief, suit organisations doing practical neighbourhood work, and its priority area is the City of Wakefield Metropolitan District Council Area.
- That priority is not a limit on who may apply, as its registered area of operation is throughout England.
- No application process is published, so make first contact through the contact shown on its website and ask about its local and national partners, since it distributes grants to community organisations through them.
- The grant range is not stated, so ask about likely sizes before naming a figure, bearing in mind that its annual report shows £2,884,445 paid in total.
- The only eligibility listed is for Tesco Fruit & Veg Grants, which covers schools, registered charities and not-for-profit organisations supporting children, so check whether that scheme fits your work, though it does not show who else may apply.
