Grant Funding Panels - We Need You!

We are updating the way we administer our grant funding.  On behalf of the funders, BPRCVS administer several funding opportunities for groups across Burnley, Pendle & Rossendale.  We aim to have a pool of panel members to help us in the decision making of the small grant programmes, and we invite you to join us.​

What’s involved?  
Panel members:

• will be involved in their local communities and community activity
• will have an interest in project funding
• will need to gain an understanding of the grant conditions
• will be expected to attend an information session on the different grants
• will attend panel meetings, some will be in person and some online
• will need to read through the applications before panel meetings
• will contribute to the decisions made on applications for funding

 
Time commitment  
We appreciate that your time is precious and limited.  On average there would be approximately 2 hours per month in panel meetings, PLUS reading time beforehand.  This can be considerable when we get a higher influx of applications as funds are first launched but then tails off as funding is allocated.
 
Being on the panel would not prevent you from applying for funding, and also, would not give you any kind of advantage.
 
If you would like to offer your time in the decision making of the funding programmes please answer the question below and submit your expression of interest by 30th May 2025, direct to email: [email protected].
