STADA Community Catalyst Fund

The STADA Community Catalyst Fund offers community groups and non-profit organisations in and
around Huddersfield the opportunity to tap into a fresh source of financial assistance and practical
advice.
Our community funding scheme aims to help unleash their creativity and passion to support people
in their area and build sustainable communities.

Groups and non-profit organisations in the HD1 to HD7 postcodes whose work benefits the local community can apply to the fund.

Grant Funding - individual grants of £200, awarded every two months. Grants of up to £1,000 for larger scale ventures are available quarterly. In addition, there are major sponsorship grants of up to £1,000 available all year round.

Expert Support - the STADA Community Catalyst Fund also provides the opportunity for groups to apply for an expert skills and advice session with a specialist in a field such as marketing, finance or HR, who can help them advance their organisation strategically - to deliver, for example, a presentation, attend a workshop or help develop interview skills within the organisation. 

Whether the venture focuses on health and wellbeing, community engagement, education, social action or developing a sustainable community - the Fund is open to applications from any local non-profit organisation helping the wider Huddersfield community.

Interested community groups and non-profit organisations in Huddersfield can apply for grants and support through the STADA Community Catalyst Fund by completing the relevant application form.

An independent selection panel, consisting of locally based Thornton & Ross leaders and employees, has been appointed to ensure the eligibility of applicants and the awarding process for successful applicants is appropriately centred on the impact and sustainability of the initiatives.

We will write to all applicants, whether successful or not, letting them know if they have obtained funding.
