C&BS Fund

How to apply

Not-for-profit organisations can apply to the C&BS Fund for up to £1 for every £2 of business sponsorship. The minimum investment request is £1,000, so the minimum business sponsorship must be £2,000. Organisations can apply up to two times, provided the total C&BS Fund investment does not exceed £10,000.

Our investments are made to enable the not-for-profit organisation to give the business sponsor additional sponsorship rights or benefits, helping to enhance the impact and reach of the sponsorship.

There are two stages to applying. We aim to respond to your Expression of Interest within 10 working days. If invited to apply, we aim to respond to your Application within four weeks of submission.

Stage 1

Express your interest

Complete a short form so we can carry out a quick eligibility check. We can also provide with an ‘In Principle’ invitation to apply if you are in discussion with a potential sponsor and have not yet signed an agreement.

For sponsorships which have received a C&BS Fund investment before, we are looking for a new element of collaboration to the relationship.

For in-kind sponsorships, we are looking for a collaborative element to the relationship that is additional to the provision of in-kind goods or services.
