Anigone Grants
Antigone is a small organisation interested in helping in some small way to reshape the way we view, treat and look after people who have broken the law.
Antigone is set up to give grants to registered charities and gives a small number of grants each year, about 6 in total.
The next grant meeting will be towards the end of summer.
Changes Antigone Wants to Help Create:
- To change the prevalent "hang em and flog em" attitude
- To create better options than reoffending for people leaving prison
- To increase awareness of positive alternatives for people breaking the law than prison
What Antigone Does To Achieve These Changes:
- Give small grants to charities who prove that people who break the law can have a future in society
- By working with a small number of charities each year, Antigone hopes to learn more about the needs of the people they support, and to think about the place of charity in society.
- Promotes their successes to ministers and the press.
- Builds alliances to work collaboratively with other independent funders and organizations.
- Promotes the needs of philanthropy to fund work in this area which is currently unfashionable and underfunded.
Applicants should consider how they might use web and mobile technologies, and funded projects must be able to measure successes in convincing ways.
Antigone is always interested in hearing about interesting work and share ideas. It has a growing network, and if it can’t help you directly, we Antigone try to put you in contact with someone who could help.
