About this event

This virtual event is your opportunity to meet Grants team from the Rothschild Foundation and learn about the grants currently available to charities, Community Interest Companies (CICs), and other community and social enterprise organisations.

Come and learn more about these grant programmes, get to know the teams that support you and ask questions that help you understand whether your initiative, group activities and needs match the grant criteria.

What you will take away from this event

This session will give you a greater understanding of what it is like to work with the Rothschild Foundation. You will find out what makes a good application and gain an insight into how Rothschild Foundation is looking to support smaller local charities and not-for-profit organisations.

We will be joined by Karen Nicoll, Grants Officer and Dave Terrace, Grants Manager for the Rothschild Foundation, who will provide further information about the funding opportunities and the eligibility criteria, tips on applying, the application process and timescales, and about how you can make the most of your application.
