Funding Advice

Please also refer to the 'Need Help' section.

Funding opportunities tend to come from two main sources:

• Private Grant Giving Trusts
• Government

Private Grant Giving Trusts:

The huge variety of Private Grant Giving Trusts means that it is not possible for this page to provide an effective window on current opportunities. The best way to find out what is relevant and available for your project is to undertake a search through the sophisticated 'funder-finder' software that is designed to locate those funding streams that are most relevant to your interests and priorities. If you would like to undertake such a search then it is possible to do so via Gweini if you make an appointment and visit our office in Cardiff. Alternatively you may prefer to visit your local County Voluntary Council (See Gweini Briefing Paper No 4) and ask for their assistance.

Government Funding Opportunities (National):

Government funding opportunities, meanwhile/opportunities that involve some government monies, are very much less diverse and can be accessed directly from this web page. In order to locate government funding opportunities see:
