Apply now: GM=EqAl Micro Grants for Dispersed Communities
We’re excited to announce the Inclusion & Wellbeing Partnership Fund – Micro Grants, launched Monday 17th November 2025 as part of GM=EqAl's Live Well Community Fund pilot.
These grants offer up to £1,000 for small, community-led activities that help people connect, create, and improve wellbeing across Greater Manchester. Projects should answer the questions 'How do we Live Well together?'.
This fund is designed for geographically dispersed and intersectional communities – groups that often struggle to access locality-based funding.
Details
- The fund is open for four weeks on a rolling basis from 17th November to 15th December 2025. Eligible groups will be considered as applications arrive.
- Applications will be reviewed weekly, with the steering group signing off approved applications every Friday.
- We expect to fund between 15 and 20 projects, events or activities.
- All applicants will receive feedback, even if unsuccessful.
