Bristol Pride

Bristol Pride Community Fund

Micro-grants, usually up to £500 and exceptionally up to £1,000, from Bristol Pride for LGBTQ+ projects run by and for the community in Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset. Individuals, new collectives and small groups can apply without being a registered organisation or having a track record. Money from sexual health service SH:24 is ring-fenced for projects about sexual health and HIV.

Who can apply

  • Individuals and small or newly forming organisations, charities, collectives and not-for-profits
  • Registration or an existing organisation is not required, and no evidence of past achievements is needed
  • The applicant and the project must be based in Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset, South Gloucestershire or North Somerset
  • Medium and large organisations can apply, but individuals, micro and small organisations are prioritised

What it funds

Activity or project costs, and costs of running the project, for a one-off event, activity or workshop, part-funding for a new project, or continuing a specific project that would not otherwise happen. It must be completed within 12 months. Projects must do one or more of:

  • Tackle LGBTQ+ discrimination or hate crime
  • Celebrate the lives, diversity or achievements of LGBTQ+ people
  • Support a specific LGBTQ+ community such as young or disabled people
  • Increase knowledge, promote learning or share stories about sexual health and HIV

Examples: film screenings, exhibitions, workshops, talks, Q&As, and sharing resources or knowledge.

What it will not fund

  • Refreshments or venue hire for social events
  • Unspecified ongoing core costs for small, medium or large organisations
  • Projects that duplicate Bristol Pride's or others' work in the city without collaboration
  • Profit-making ventures
  • Projects starting before the award date

How to apply

  1. Read the Community Fund Guidance Notes
  2. Complete the online application form (open in February and September) by 30 September 2026: describe the project, how many people it reaches, which criteria it meets and how, any sexual health impact, and what share of costs the grant covers
  3. The panel meets in October; all applicants hear by the end of October
  4. If successful, sign a funding agreement and submit an invoice for the grant within 30 days

Sexual health and HIV projects apply through the same form, choosing that criterion.
