Grants for Haringey charities available for up to £50,000

The Haringey Independent is inviting community groups and charities to apply for a Gannett Foundation grant of up to £50,000.

The deadline for the next round of grants is March 25.

The foundation is the charitable arm of this paper’s parent company Gannett, which publishes more than 300 newspapers nationwide. It gives priority to long-term projects which will give lasting benefit to a large number of people in the community.

Projects that will be favoured include those for people with special needs either through disability or disadvantage, and sport, environment, conservation and history projects.

Grants are not given to individuals, organisations that are not registered charities, uniformed youth groups, promotion of religious causes, endowment funds, multi-year campaigns, medical or research organisations or animal charities.

Applicants who already have substantial financial reserves will not be considered, nor will those who want the money for non-specific projects - such as to meet running costs or for structural repairs.

To apply, you must be a Haringey-based registered charity and not have previously applied for funding from the Gannett Foundation.

Grants should be for specified items or purposes, with detailed costings, up to a maximum of £50,000.

The application form can be downloaded at haringeyindependent.co.uk/gannett.
