Sustaining Grants

Today 10 leading voluntary sector agencies launch a campaign to promote the importance of grant aid for voluntary and community sector organisations. They call on every local authority and other local statutory bodies working with communities to establish grant funding to support community initiatives. They regard grant aid as a key part of the local funding mix. A new campaign leaflet – Sustaining Grants – outlines why grant aid is so important and illustrates the arguments with real life examples.

Kevin Curley, Chief Executive of NAVCA, says: “Grants are key to sustaining local voluntary and community action. Grants can be flexible, lever extra support, keep a good project going or take an organisation to the next level. Sometimes grant aid is the only suitable funding for the sector. It must be sustained as part of the funding mix.”

Sustaining Grants is available here. It is available in pdf and Word formats. The Word format allows organisations to edit and add local case studies appropriate for a local audience.
