The Volant Trust is currently seeking applications from charities in the UK and
internationally that demonstrate a strong focus on alleviating social
deprivation and helping vulnerable groups who have been particularly impacted
by the Covid-19 pandemic.
They acknowledge how much work goes into making an application and
the Trustees are keen to help charities as much as possible prior to submitting
their request for funding.
Applications for medical equipment and the
production or distribution of PPE will also be considered.
Funding Information
- They deliver a funding
programme which makes multi-year awards (for up to three years) of £15,000
or less per annum.
- For the other areas of funding,
such as the Covid-19 response fund, any grants are made at the sole
discretion of the Trustees.
Eligibility Criteria
To help you to determine whether your project
meets the funding criteria they have put together a short series of questions.
- Is your organisation a
registered charity, community interest company, community organisation or
social enterprise?
- Is the project and funding
required specifically related to the Covid-19 pandemic?
- Does your organisation directly
help with the alleviation of social deprivation and vulnerable groups who
have been particularly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic?
- Is the funding for the project,
running, or core costs including the purchase of medical equipment or PPE
in connection with the Covid-19 pandemic?
- Does your organisation have its own bank account with at least two unrelated cheque signatories?
- Are your organisation’s accounts independently audited each year?
