Who cannot apply

Types of organisations that cannot apply

We do not accept applications from:

• individuals

• sole traders

• school

• statutory or public body

• organisations based outside England

• companies that pay profits to directors, shareholders or members (rather than reinvesting them for charitable purposes). This includes companies limited by shares

• organisations that have had funding for the same work - we will not fund the same work twice

• one organisation applying on behalf of another (unless you’re applying together as a partnership)

Leadership majority not from Global Majority and racially minoritised communities

Because of the purpose and aims of this funding, we need the lived experiences of Global Majority and racially minoritised communities to be represented in your board or committee.

Organisations that do not have a majority of board or committee members from Global Majority and racially minoritised communities cannot apply.
