Over £3m awarded at May’s grants committee, including over 200 extraordinary unrestricted COVID19 grants
In our third Committee meeting of 2020, our Committee approved grants totalling just over £3m. This comprised 218 grants, large and small, supporting organisations that reach those in London in greatest need.
May’s round of awards included one-off grants made to over 200 of our smaller current grantees, to help them cover some of the losses they have incurred through the pandemic.
