  1. connect people who are isolated,
  2. support families having a tough time,
  3. improve mental health for everyone,
  4. make sure young people have the best chance in life.

Make it Happen

Make It Happen is an Islington residents’ small grants scheme of up to £500 for local people to act on the things that they care about. Projects could bring a new idea to life, help residents to put on a community event or support ongoing work of local groups.

Grants & Programmes

The Disability Fund supports organisations’ capacity to be inclusive so people living with disabilities can take full advantage of what is on offer in Islington. Grants of up to £3,000 are available per organisation. 

Do you have an idea for a project that could benefit your community? If so, the Make It Happen Fund, is for you! Projects could bring a new idea to life, help residents to put on a community event or support ongoing work of local groups.

The Catalyst Programme awards up to £500 to people on low incomes to pay for opportunities that make a difference. It is a simple, special and effective programme that can be designed to support absolutely anyone.

Closed Grants & Programmes

Young Grant Makers is a panel of 12 young people aged 17 to 24 who come together every year over five months to make decisions about funding for local projects for children and young people in Islington.

The Family Panel is a group of eight local residents who have joined Islington Giving to shape this open call and make grant decisions that will benefit Islington parents and carers.

We have launched a new fund to support organisations (staff and/or beneficiaries) to develop, enact and evaluate a greener approach to carrying out their day-to-day activities. The Going Greener Fund will provide small grants of £500- £5,000 which organisations can use in a range of ways, either employing tried and tested approaches or piloting experimental approaches to operate in more environmentally friendly ways.

We are inviting applications from existing organisations and successful round 1 applicants, to provide support to those experiencing food insecurity in the borough. Applicants can express interest in either the small grant or larger grant.
