THEMATIC FUNDING
The theme for 2024's Thematic Funding is 'Space to Thrive'.
Grants will be available from between £2,501 and £25,000.
WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?
You can apply for funding to deliver new or existing activity or to change and adapt to new and future challenges. Your project should meet one or more of these aims:
-Bring people together
- Improve places and spaces that matter to communities
- Help more people to reach their potential by supporting them at the earliest possible stage
Applicants must consider their environmental impact when designing their project by choosing to use more sustainable, environmentally friendly, or recycled materials as much as possible.
WHO CAN APPLY?
You can apply if you are a community group, not for profit group, parish or town council, school or social enterprise.
You do not need to be a registered charity to apply.
You must have a bank account on the Isle of Man that requires at least two people, who are unrelated and do not live at the same address, to sign each cheque or withdrawal.
WHAT YOU CAN APPLY FOR?
Examples of what we might fund:
- create, or refresh an area used for sessions which bring people together
- community hub/garden inclusive activities and mentoring for young people
- emotional/mental health/wellbeing initiatives
- installation of solar panels/additional insulation to help reduce costs and make a positive impact on the environment
