The Community First Prime Opportunities Fund from the Two Ridings has been set up by the generosity of a local donor.
It is an endowment fund and supports the whole region and causes close to the donor’s heart long into the future.
The fund is available to voluntary organisations, community groups, small charities and other not-for-profits serving communities in York, North Yorkshire, Hull and East Riding.
Projects must address issues which create barriers to young people aged between 11 and 19 from disadvantaged backgrounds from reaching their full potential.
Priority is given to projects aimed at supporting people from the most deprived communities.
Size of grants
You can apply for £500 for up to 80% of the total project costs.
Priority is given to projects which demonstrate that people who benefit have raised some of the funding required through their own efforts.
It is also favours projects where the grant covers a significant proportion of the project costs.
