Three main reasons • Give understanding to locally-based funders about how and where their combined funding is distributed within the region • Use this understanding to approach local authorities and other local public sector bodies to use independent funding to complement other support to the VCSE sector • Raise awareness amongst larger national charitable trusts and foundations about the make up of their funding in Yorkshire and Humber.
Produced a report based on.. • Reviewing NCVO’s UK Civil Society Almanac for overall information on the income of the VCS in Yorkshire and Humber region • Analysing the funding information on 360 Givingfor funders making awards in the region (28 responses). • Supplementing this funding information with a survey of Yorkshire Grant Makers Forum members asking them to set out the dates, values and locations of awards made in the region since 2015 (21 responses + 4 NLDBs).
Used the data in the report to produce an Excel dashboard (demonstration coming shortly…)
Good news is that over £100m going to VCS from region’s independent funders
