Grassroots Grants endowment match challenge
This fund is now closed.
If you donate to Grassroots Grants in your local area, the government will match your donation. This will be invested as an endowment to enable your local community to grow, over the years to come.
The power to make lasting change
The previous government pledged £50m to match both individual and business donations.
Your donations, together with match funding and eligible gift aid and/or tax relief, were then invested as an endowment. The returns was used to provide grant funding to local community groups in your area.
Since the capital endowment is never touched, over time a fund can give out more than the original capital sum.

Grassroots Grants was a £130 million government funded programme that supports the voluntary sector in building stronger, more active communities. Grassroots Grants includes an £80 million small grants programme and an £50 million endowment match challenge. Both elements are delivered by local funders, which have excellent local knowledge and experience in giving out grants and managing endowment funds.
