Find Funds: Education & Employment

Funding for All offers Kent & Medway charities and voluntary sector organisations mentoring and resources to help increase their chances of fundraising success. That’s why we’ve created a grants database for groups to access at any time, completely free.

If you need some support putting together an application, take a look at our mentoring programme or our upcoming events.
