Development Grants for Carer Organisations
The Triangle Trust is currently inviting applications for Development Grants from not for profit organisations whose sole purpose is to support unpaid Carers. The grants provide funds towards core costs to allow your organisation to make a step change development towards increasing its long-term sustainability. The Triangle Trust would like to see applicants use these grants as part of a programme of work to develop sustainable income sources, so that when the grant comes to end your organisation’s income will not be reduced. Funding is available for up to £80,000 over 3 years. The closing date for submissions is noon on 4th May 2017. Previously unsuccessful applicants must wait two years before re-applying. Please visit www.triangletrust.org.uk for full details.
