Round 3 Information Published
We are delighted to announce that our funding guide has been updated to include new criteria for Round 3 of 2025, seeing Postcode Society Trust adopt a multi-year approach to the funding offered.
We have made these changes after listening to feedback from applicants that multi-year funding would allow for a more sustainable and forward-thinking approach, alongside ongoing research into funding best practices. We are also pleased to be expanding our work with grant making partners, to benefit from their expertise, and reach more good causes than ever before.
