How we can help:

• Setting up your group – help with a constitution or other documents 
• Searching for funding – detailed funding search for your work 
• Writing your first funding bid – advice and examples of bids 
• “Critical Friend” – reading over your bid before you submit it.  
• Chance to meet funders - Funding events, networking and meeting funders.  

Before you bid: 

You will need a few things in place: 

• A group of people with ideas. Funders tend to fund groups not individuals 
• A bank account in the name of the group with two signatories 
• A constitution (written rules of your group) – including a “dissolution clause” 
• At least three people who will play the roles chair, treasurer and secretary 

Some funds available locally
