Local causes in need of some additional funding can apply to win a grant to support their projects.
Manchester-based Swinton Insurance has come together with Autonet and Carole Nash, all part of Atlanta Group, to launch this year’s Atlanta Community Fund.
The fund totals £60,000 and will be shared across 15 good causes across four different funding levels, with five grants of up to £1,000, four grants between £1,001 to £2,500, three grants between £2,501 and £5,000, and three grants between £5,001 and £10,000 on offer.
Applicants can choose from five different categories – health and wellbeing, education, community support, charitable cause and youth.
Entries should be submitted by 1st November and shortlisted entries will be chosen by a public vote on social media.
Ian Donaldson, CEO Swinton, Autonet and Carole Nash, all part of Atlanta Group, said: “The Atlanta Community Fund is open to everyone and gives us the chance to support projects that have a meaningful impact on people in the areas we operate in.
“We want applicants to enter a project that they are passionate about in their community and tell us what a difference these much-needed funds could make.
“Nominations can be anything from helping a Scouts group to go on a trip, to redecorating a community space or even donating books to a school.
“We’re looking forward to receiving all of the entries – I’m sure there’s going to be lots of worthy winners, so it’ll be a difficult final decision!”
An expert judging panel will make the final decision on the winners.
