# Monthly focus: funding and grantseeking - Link: https://fundraising.co.uk/2022/01/17/monthly-focus-funding-and-grantseeking/ - Published: 2022-01-17T12:52:25+00:00 - Author: Howard Lake **To start the year we’re focusing on how to fundraise from charitable trusts and other sources of funding for charities and social purpose organisations.** Welcome to UK Fundraising’s first monthly focus, and we’re starting with funding– applying for grants from funders who wish to support a particular cause or cause. This focus is supported by [AVIVA Community Fund](https://fundraising.co.uk/suppliers/the-aviva-community-fund/) who are currently accepting applications for their latest round of funding. This time there is a focus on supporting organisations engaged in **climate action** and on **promoting financial wellbeing**. ## Advertisement [⌊Posthub advert. You create the campaign.
