**This programme is now closed to applications**

The Hate Crime Awareness Summer-Autumn 2021 Grants Programme is offering twenty awards of £500 to help tackle hatred and discrimination. Only projects that will be delivered sometime between July and November 2021 can be funded.

Hate crime is significantly under-reported. Even in difficult times, continued efforts by local groups and organisations are needed to raise awareness of and challenge hate crime in our communities and to help instil confidence in victims by highlighting how and where hate crime incidents can be reported.

Project proposals submitted to this programme must fit with the government’s coronavirus social-distancing measures and include careful consideration of the safety both of those delivering the activity and its intended audience.

Through Manchester City Council, Manchester Community Safety Partnership makes funding available annually to support projects across the city that promote awareness of hate crime and how to report it. Macc administers this grants programme on behalf of the Council.

Funding available
Groups can apply for one of twenty £500 Hate Crime Awareness Grants to deliver a project during the period July to November 2021.
