Our Manchester Funds
Who we are
The Our Manchester funds team delivers grants programmes and projects in support of Manchester’s Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) organisations and the people they work with. Our mission is to lead by example in good grant-giving by making sure our work is appropriate and accessible to all parts of the city’s VCFSE sector. Our approach is based on listening and responding to the sector and partners, to ensure we make the most out of our investments.
