People and communities Funding and grants for voluntary and community sector

Overview of existing funding

Our Manchester VCS Grants (OMVCS)

Charitable voluntary and community sector (VCS) organisations play a huge role in improving lives and communities in the city. We focus our grants programme on working with them to achieve the aims of the Our Manchester strategy.

Organisations funded through this programme will receive funding from April 2023 to March 2026, as reported at Communities and Equalities Scrutiny on 7th March 2023.
