The Social Investment Business (SIB) issues some extremely helpful and useful grant information. So, we thought it would be helpful to share this information (don’t worry we have asked permission) with you. If you click directly on the links you will see the ways in which to apply which you can do directly by following the links!

On the Investment front, the Resilience and Recovery Loan Fund (RRLF) continues to disburse guaranteed loans. Applicants are considered on a first come first served basis and the closing date of the fund is subject to constant review. To date, we’ve approved over £13m to 35 charities and social enterprises, and £1m worth of grants alongside. Please do get in touch with the team if you have any questions on the Fund.

On the Grant side, Round 1 of the Community Business Renewal Fund went live on Tuesday. We’re delivering the £3m Fund on behalf of Power to Change and unrestricted grants of between £10,000 and £20,000 are available – Round 2 opens on 12 January. Meanwhile, the Youth window of the Enterprise Development Programme is currently open and closes at 4 pm on 12 November. Please do apply if you’re looking for support, wherever you are in your enterprise journey.

Our Learning and Influence Team are continuing their important COVID-19 data work and data analysis of our latest emergency funding rounds. We look forward to sharing more on this in our forthcoming Impact Report this month. In the meantime, do have a read of our latest blogs on measurement and how we marked Black History Month. We’ve also updated our COVID-19 Resources and Information page for our customers with the latest Government and sector advice.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch directly with SIB if you need to.
