The Merseyside Funding Information Portal is packed with information on how to get your hands on money for your project, group or organisation as well as links to other sites and support services that can give you further support.

Sniff out new funds!

There are three sections in this portal full of funding information:

Breaking news! This section gives you up-to-the-minute information on new funding opportunities, as well as up-and-coming training and events, details of tendering and commissioning opportunities and strategic updates to find out more about the bigger picture.

Advice and Support This section is packed with information to help you improve your fundraising techniques. We have a comprehensive factsheet library as well as a useful links section to other sites offering funding information and advice.

Plea to fundraisers!

Funders receive large numbers of applications from groups and organisations that are simply not eligible or relevant to their work. This causes a great waste of time and expense (both on the funder's and your own part), which could otherwise be focused more effectively.

After using the funding information email and website, please make sure that you obtain each funder's guidelines and application form (if relevant) and read them carefully before making an application. If you need advice on choosing the right funding sources for your needs, please click here to contact your local support agency for assistance.

Funding information has been obtained from various sources - please see website entries for details.
