IdeasTap Groups Fund

deadline: 7 July 2010

IdeasTap has launched a new Groups Fund to encourage collaboration 
through IdeasTap groups and involve as many members as possible in the 
process.

The fund offers 12 awards of £2,500 to fund IdeasTap group projects that 
will do the most for the rest of the IdeasTap community. The Groups Fund 
is open to ideas from all creative disciplines and is looking for great 
collaborative ideas for productions, exhibitions, workshops, events, 
short films, performances - to name just a few possibilities....

IdeasTap have a new collaboration tool to help you make connections and 
spread your net wide. This isn’t just a numbers game - we believe the 
connections you make can have a massive impact on your career and 
creative development.

One group member will be the main applicant, and must be aged between 
16-30. They will include details of the group they’re applying on behalf 
of and name at least ten members of that group, all aged 16-30, 
detailing the capacity in which they’ll each be involved in the project.

Grassroots Grants

deadline: March 2011

So far, Grassroots Grants has funded thousands of projects, from sports 
for the disabled to arts for older people, activities for young people, 
counselling services, employment programmes, food parcel services, music 
groups and village halls. It is these small, volunteer led groups that 
make a real difference to the lives of local people, and often a small 
amount of money can go a long way.

Applying for Grassroots Grants is quick, easy and help is available. You 
can apply for money until March 2011. If your group ticks all the boxes, 
then you could apply for a Grassroots Grant of £250 - £5000
