The benefits of working with Action Hampshire to give small grants to voluntary sector organisations are many

  • A trusted organisation with extensive networks of VCSE organisations
  • Specialism in working with organisations supporting underserved communities
  • Established mechanisms for managing small grants programmes
  • Efficiency and speed getting the funding to the organisations
  • Expertise in supporting VCSEs with impact measurement

The benefits of including small grants in programmes

Action Hampshire often includes small grants in proposals we make for funded services, as we believe this adds so much value. This means:

  • A stronger, better resourced VCSE sector working with you on your priorities
  • You get the input and expertise from diverse smaller, embedded VCSE organisations
  • Better reach and engagement for your programme
  • Experience of diverse VCSEs is utilised
  • The programme has longer term impact as the VCSEs involved have an increased understanding of the programme

We have used this approach for a number of programmes including administering VIVID+ Community Chest and including grants in Communities Against Cancer, Raising Voices in Research, Let’s Be Smokefree and many more.

If you’d like to partner with us and distribute funds to a diverse range of VCSEs doing amazing work in their communities, please get in touch.
