High End Fundraising
There are many grants available if you know where to look..
Goodwill Grants - these are grants available for all types of purposes made by new big stores when they open another branch in that community. It may be as small as £50 or as high as £10 000 - it all depends on the store. Find out what stores have opened recently in your community and ask if they have a goodwill grant scheme.
Lottery Funding. Lottery funding is well worth looking into, as there are so many categories under which you may apply, including Awards for all. For example, Life in the 21st Century grants are for assisting people who may be disadvantaged in some way by the way we live today. This could be computer training for retired/elderly or access to other similar assistance.
