Find the funding you need, and get that grant

There are many ways in which we can help you increase the funding potential of your organisation.

Whether you are large or small, we have a wealth of resources and guidance.

Funding Portal

Our Funding Portal is an innovative online platform that transforms the way that VCSE organisations in North Yorkshire can search for and find the funding options they need.

Offering a one-stop-shop approach, the portal is not only free to users, it saves a stack of time with searches that can be tailored to your exact requirements.

Keep ahead of the game

We know that it’s a big job keeping on top of new funding opportunities, juggling so many different funds and deadlines.

Plus, every grant is different, offering different funding and with different caveats. Our new portal can help you cut through to find the funding options that meet your needs, your timescales and your organisation’s aims.
