Small Grants Programme | Previous awards
The Mayor’s Small Grants Programme Awards are made following a fair and transparent assessment and decision-making process.
Organisations applied through our online grants portal. Projects are then assessed by trained assessors, using criteria to provide scores.
Following assessment, recommendations on which organisations to fund were based on:
- how they scored
- how they met the needs of the theme, schemes and priorities
- equalities considerations
- geographic spread.
The Director of Strategy, Improvement and Transformation decides on grant awards under decision-making powers from Cabinet.
Here is a list of successful applications per round.
