Funding Opportunities
Kellogg's Breakfast Club Grants Programme
The Kellogg's Breakfast Club Grants Programme provides grants of £1,000 to school breakfast clubs across the United Kingdom to help them provide breakfast to children who need it most. The programme is administered by Forever Manchester in partnership with Kellanova (Kellogg's parent company). Priority is given to schools with high levels of pupil premium funding or free school meals eligibility, or schools located in areas of high deprivation according to the Index of Multiple Deprivation. The programme is part of the Kellanova Better Days Promise, which aims to create Better Days for 4 billion people by 2030 through advancing sustainable and equitable access to food. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis with decisions made within one month, though the fund may close at short notice if oversubscribed. All schools that apply are automatically enrolled in the Kellogg's Breakfast Club Network for additional support and resources.
Manchester Building Society Community Fund
The Manchester Building Society Community Fund is set to provide £100k of funding over three years to support grassroot community organisations across Greater Manchester, with £30,000 available during its first year. The launch of the fund follows the announcement of Manchester Building Society's return to the high street as part of a significant new phase of investment in the North West. The fund's focus will be on projects that provide work and employability support services, with priority also given to those that foster diversity and inclusion. Broader community initiatives will also be considered with the aim of backing a range of organisations across the ten boroughs of Greater Manchester. The first grants will be made to five projects which will be selected from an existing shortlist. Each successful application will be awarded approximately £2,500 and additional grant funding will be made available throughout the course of the year. Applications will be judged by a panel made up of community funding specialists from Forever Manchester and community ambassador colleagues from Manchester Building Society.
