If you are a Community Sponsorship Group and Sponsor Refugees (Citizens UK) is your Lead Sponsor, you can apply for match funding to help meet your fundraising target, up to a maximum of £4,500.
The next round of applications will be reviewed:
Apply by 16th May. Reviewed 20th May.
The fund is managed by Sponsor Refugees project, Citizens UK. Priority is given to Community Sponsorship groups who might struggle to raise the necessary funds without this support, and for whom receiving a grant would accelerate their ability to apply.
Conditions of Match Funding:
- Successful groups are asked to provide a written or video update upon the resettled family's arrival, to be shared with funders. (You would not be required to provide photos or private details of the family)
- The grant will be ringfenced for your group, and transferred upon receiving Full Approval from the Home Office.
- If you do not apply to the Home Office within 6 months of being allocated the grant, the funding may be reallocated to a new group.
