Infrastructure Support Grant

If your organisation is currently a recipient of grants from the Justice Together Initiative, we are welcoming applications for funding of work that strengthens your organisation through our Infrastructure Support Grant.

Our Infrastructure Support Grants are designed to respond to your organisation’s needs. We have £300,000 to give (if budget allows in order of application) over 3 years, and we will be providing grants of up to £20,000 to individual organisations.

Our grants are restricted to strengthening organisations, please note that we will not be providing funding for advice or influencing posts.

Below is a list of some examples the funding can be used for, this is by no means exhaustive, and we welcome suggestions on what your organisation needs to be stronger:

• Human resources support
• Consultants to assist in developing strategic plans, Theory of change, and learning plans
• Fundraising support
• Wellbeing support
• Leadership training
• Support to develop and implement an anti-racist strategy

Our Focus

Please note, due to demand, our infrastructure grants will only be for organisations that have a turnover of under £350k and are either one of the below:

• Migrant-led organisations
• Small or Grassroots organisations

How we will make decisions

Requests will be assessed by our grants team, and will take into consideration:

• Appropriateness of funding towards strengthening your organisation
• Budget available for our Infrastructure Support Grants
• Availability of other funder-plus options

Please also note when deciding whether an organisation is small or grassroots, we will consider the following: the number of staff, having a turnover of under 350k, and whether the organisation is volunteer-led.

Funding decisions will be made every month, possibly quicker for applications requiring urgent or time-sensitive support.  We will usally take less then 3 months to get back to you with a decision.
