The Go Succeed Grant can provide funding of up to 70% of costs for capital and/or revenue items up to a maximum grant of £4,000. The minimum grant awarded will be £1,000.00. Go Succeed will fund 70% of the cost up to a maximum of £4,000; therefore the organisation must provide their own funding for the balance of the cost of their purchased item if the total cost exceeds £5,714.28 .
Please note that applying for a grant is a competitive process and awards are subject to the availability of funds and may be subject to change.
