Trying to make social change, but don’t have the budget for the basics?

Tidal’s new Micro‑Grants Fund is doing things differently.

This is money for small groups who rarely get funded, with as little admin as possible. We care about your idea's impact, not how well you can fill out a lengthy application.

How does it work?

The fund is built entirely from grassroots monthly donations, from people who want to help small groups in Leeds do big things. Then it goes into the hands of people organising for social and environmental justice.

Why now?

We know that some of the most important organising in Leeds is happening in places that never get funded.

If you’re trying to make something happen - an event, a project, a new group, or simply buying the things you need to keep going - we want to support you.

How do I apply?

You must meet our basic criteria in order to apply:

• Your group, project, organisation, and activity you are seeking funding for is based in Leeds.
• You have a UK bank account in the name of your organisation which we can pay funds into.
• You are a small group, project, or organisation (more details are in the application form).

For any questions, please email info[at]leedstidal.org.

How can I support the fund?

Donate here.

Monthly donations help small groups do big things. If you can chip in, you’ll directly support grassroots organising across Leeds and help make our city a better place.

We think we can run the fund a couple of times a year, but we’d love to grow it into something more. More regular rounds, maybe even bigger pots for larger projects.
