Overview
Applications for the Sheffield Legacy Fund is open.
How much? Up to £1,000, to be spent within one year.
Consortiums bringing together more than one community organisation in a single bid can apply for larger grants of up to £5,000. Your application should identify one organisation as the lead applicant who will hold the grant and be accountable for it and should explain how and why the organisations are working together.
How do I apply? Read the guidance notes below and complete an application form. If you need the form in a different format please let us know.
When can we expect to find out the outcome? Once we have received all documents (outlined in the guidance notes and on the application form) and eligibility is confirmed, you should receive a response within roughly six weeks. Projects should therefore start at least three months from when you apply.
Grassroots community organisations within a three-mile radius of Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park are invited to apply for grants of up to £1,000 to fund their activities addressing physical and mental health and wellbeing. The priority for this fund is to support all, or the majority, of the event or activity so that the grant can have real impact.
We know that a wide variety of local charities, social enterprises and community groups are doing incredible work to support people by providing physical and mental health and well-being activities.
Thanks to the generosity of Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park partners, we are able to make small grants to community organisations to support this work.
We are particularly keen to see applications from organisations led by and/or providing support to minoritised and marginalised communities in this area of Sheffield.
Please note that reapplications from groups previously supported by the Legacy Fund will only be considered 12 months after the previous donation was awarded and the End of Grant report completed."
