Local Grants Forum

The Local Grants Forum is a partnership of national organisations formed in 2007. It campaigns to protect grants for local third sector organisations and community groups.

January 2009 the Forum published Defending Local Grants, which contains details of resources you can use at local level which will help you to convince councillors, commissioning officers and procurement professionals that grants should continue to be used to fund local organisations and groups.

In April 2007 the Forum published Sustaining Grants: Why local grant aid is vital for a healthy voluntary and community sector and thriving local communities
