Fight for Sight Offers Funding for Capacity Building

The Capacity Building Fund is designed to support the creation of a sight loss sector that is coherent, sustainable, and resilient to the rising demand for equal service provision across the UK.

The fund offers unrestricted grants for organisations in the sight loss sector across the UK whose growth and sustainability are challenged by the uncertain economic climate and cost of living crisis.

The grants will focus on two key areas:

• Collaboration between organisations within the sight loss sector and between the sight loss sector and external organisations.
• Small charities and grassroots organisations. 

Grants of between £10,000 and £20,000 are available

This fund is designed to support organisations to overcome barriers to increasing their capacity.  This could include (but is not limited to):

• Contributions to core costs.
• A merger of organisations.
• Strengthening of systems and processes. 

This funding is not designed for specific projects. 

The deadline for applications is 7 January 2025 (9:00 am).
