Grant Management

For decades we have facilitated the distribution of grant funding to deserving local causes in the East Midlands.
One of our biggest success stories is the Tesco Stronger Starts grants, managing grant funding for community groups and schools. From applying to deciding who receives the funding by using blue tokens in-store, this grant is fully community-led.
Since 2015 we helped Tesco to distribute £6,619,418 to local causes.
We offer a range of social value support services to help you elevate your business.
Organisations seeking to distribute grant funding need a trusted partner with robust systems and a strong track record of ensuring money gets to where it’s most needed.
That’s what we can offer you with our unique perspective that combines on-the-ground knowledge of ‘what works’ with decades of experience of running funding programmes for top brands and government departments.
Our tried and tested ‘enabling’ model involves our local staff on the ground reaching out into communities, encouraging applications and guiding groups through the process.
Our skilled programme management team can support you and applicants for your funding through all stages of the grants process:
Scheme design | Application process | Shortlisting process | Training of successful applicants | Monitoring & programme management | Knowledge sharing | Evaluation | Successor proposals
Groundwork is listed on the Crown Commercial Services framework for Grant and Programme Services.
