Deadline: 15th December 2022

Making a positive difference to communities, people & the environment, Grants for Good invites local charities, voluntary groups or social enterprises that have an average annual income of less than £50,000 to apply for funding.
 
Every three months, they will share £10,000 between 5 shortlisted projects that have a positive impact on communities, people or the environment. The five shortlisted projects will be voted for by John Good Group employees.
 
These five charities will all receive a share of £10,000 – the more votes a cause receives, the bigger the donation. Following the vote, the project that receives the most votes will receive a grant of £3,500, second place £2,500, third place £2,000 and fourth and fifth place will both receive £1,000.
 
Your application must be on behalf of a local community group, charity, voluntary group or social enterprise that has a positive impact on communities, people or the environment and has an average income of less than £50,000 in the last 12 months.
 
They want to make it easy for very small charities or new community interest companies to apply, so organisations/groups do not need to be registered charity, however, you will need to have a bank account in your organisation’s/project’s name such as a community bank account.
 
Charities and projects are welcome to apply all year round, and your application will be considered in the next funding round. Funding will be awarded every three months, in April, July, October, and January, with an application deadline of the 15th of the month before. Eg. for the January round, applications will close on 15 December.
