Here you will find information on the main funders of voluntary and community activity in the borough. You may have to search through a number of the sites to find a funding programme that meets your needs.

A number of Islington's regeneration partnerships also fund voluntary and community groups, and you can find out about these from the local initiatives section of this site.

If you are thinking of starting a community group, or are a small organisation unsure about fundraising, you are strongly advised to use the IVAC funding advice service. IVAC will help you to make applications, and their Funder Finder database holds information on a large number of funders. You will also find other support agencies that can help in the starting out section of this website.
