Disability Fund
Cripplegate Foundation
Islington Giving launched a new fund to support organisations capacity to be inclusive so people living with disabilities can take full advantage of what is on offer in Islington.
Grants of up to £3,000 are available to organisations who have received funding from Islington Giving, Cripplegate Foundation or Islington Council’s Community Chest in the last 18 months.
Funds can be used to enable organisations to identify, resource and remove barriers to people living with disabilities from taking full advantage of what is on offer in Islington. The Disability Fund will make funds available to.
Eligibility and Criteria:
In keeping with a flexible approach, we have avoided putting too many constraints on how organisations can utilise the Fund. However, all requests must adhere to the following criteria: 1. The programme is limited for the benefit of people who are resident in Islington. This reflects the mission and objectives of Islington Giving. 2. The programme is intended to benefit people living with disabilities who struggle to access opportunities as a result. 3. The maximum grant an organisation can apply for is £3,000. 4. The entirety of the grant must be spent on resourcing inclusivity. The grant does not include an amount to the organisation for administration costs. 5. Following the principle of flexibility there will be few exclusions for funding. The only exception is that funds cannot be used to improve physical access to buildings. 6. Organisations will be required to implement monitoring appropriate to capturing the difference made from their grant and to provide case-studies where relevant. 7. Organisations will be required to feedback and share learning from receiving a grant from the Disability Fund to inform best practice and the future shape of the programme.
