Key takeaways

Newground Together only supports local projects in Pennine Lancashire and Calderdale, so groups working elsewhere should not apply.
Its open community grants are aimed at residents' groups, grassroots community organisations and volunteer-led groups, and its themes are environmental engagement, community regeneration and employment support, so a project should fit one of these.
The annual report shows £84,857 awarded in total, and no grant range is stated, so a modest, focused request is the safest starting point, in line with the small grants it describes.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, so there is no deadline to wait for; groups can email grants@newground.co.uk or use the contact form, and the funder says it will get back to them.
The source says nothing about how competitive its funding is, so it may help to make contact first to check that a project fits before writing a full application.
