KVA is delighted to announce a new programme of support that will help local organisations become more effective, sustainable and attractive to funders.
 
Grant funders did a great job offering emergency funding during the pandemic, but high demand and harsh economic conditions mean that funding for smaller community organisations is increasingly difficult to secure.  Community organisations with limited resources could be frozen out of grant funding opportunities at a time when demand for services is greater than it has ever been.
 
About the programme
 
This short 5 month programme will take participants through the key stages of understanding what funders look for in a strong organisation, show how to develop a strong application, where to look for funding and how to report on the impact of your services. Delivery will be a combination of online, one-to-one and face to face group sessions.
 
Who this course is for
 
If you are a community organisation based in Kingston or deliver a significant proportion of your services in Kingston, if you have been in existence for at least 1 year, have income below £500,000, then this programme is for you to help improve your sustainability.
