The South Yorkshire’s Community Foundation (SYCF) is pleased to announce the Community Grants Programme.
The Community Grants Programme is made up of several funds provided by generous local donors. It is intended to support community groups and organisations across South Yorkshire, especially smaller, developing or less well-resourced organisations and grass-roots groups, where small amounts of funding can make a real difference.
Aims and Priorities
- They want to fund organisations which will make a difference in their local neighbourhood, focusing on the following priorities:
- Education and learning
- Poverty deprivation
- Work and the local economy
- Health & well-being, including physical and mental health
- Homelessness
- Social isolation
- Supporting people with disabilities
Funding Information
- Up to £5,000, to be spent within one year.
Eligibility Criteria
- Community Grants are for grass-roots community organisations in South Yorkshire. This includes charities, community groups, clubs and not-for-profit social enterprises. To be eligible for a grant you must:

- Have an income of less than £200,000 in your last financial year, and
