York Committee community grants
Who can apply?
The Awarding Authority makes grants in response to applications from charities and other voluntary and not-for-profit organisations.
When considering applications for grants, the York Committee gives priority to applications which fit within our main areas of interest. Our purpose is to build and develop strong and empowered communities without poverty or isolation. Our definition of тАШpovertyтАЩ is тАЬwhen a personтАЩs resources are well below their minimum needs, including the need to take part in societyтАЭ. In line with JRFтАЩs тАШWe can solve poverty in the UKтАЩ strategy we want to encourage voluntary and community organisations to make solving poverty an explicit goal. We therefore welcome applications that demonstrate how they can contribute to solving poverty in York.
In particular, our local research in York identified two specific areas of need:
to increase and better co-ordinate access to benefits advice, debt advice, support with developing financial capability, and information and advocacy for those in or at risk of poverty;
to increase local community-based activity to prevent and reduce isolation where poverty is a contributing factor or barrier
