The Matthew Good Foundation has launched the Grants for Good Funding Programme to support small and growing local charities, voluntary groups or social enterprises that are making a big impact on communities, people or the environment.
This programme, funded by the John Good Group, offers unrestricted funds that you can use for any of your organisation’s costs, including core running costs, and the applications process is a short and as simple as possible, which is great for those looking to make their first steps into applying for their first funding opportunity.
