Glasgow City Council is inviting applications from experienced organisations to administer a micro-grant programme supporting community engagement as part of its Child Poverty Programme.

The appointed partner will manage the design and delivery of a micro-grant process across two areas - Southside Central and Drumchapel. The grants will be distributed directly to frontline third sector organisations to support meaningful engagement with local families and communities.

What the Delivery Partner Will Do

The successful organisation will:

• Promote the funding opportunity across the local third sector

• Develop a clear engagement brief (with the Centre for Civic Innovation)

• Manage a fair and accessible application and assessment process

• Provide coordination and support to funded organisations

• Collate and report on engagement findings to inform programme research and decision-making

Who Should Apply

They are seeking a partner with strong experience in community engagement, grant administration, and working with third sector organisations. Applicants must meet standard regulatory requirements and demonstrate the ability to deliver transparent processes and high-quality reporting.

This is an opportunity to play a key role in ensuring community voices shape action on child poverty in Glasgow.
