Help with Funding?
Apr 04, 2012, 10:26
Hi there, I wrote is this forum a little while ago about developing a Ridgeway Pilgrimage route, the idea has taken off and now I am looking to develop a route across the Greater Ridgeway from the Wash to Lyme Regis, my idea requires that I walk the route later this year and record the experience, now the tricky part! Does anyone know of a way I can get some funding for this project? either from individuals who might be interested in the idea or from suitable charitable bodies... I do not think I need a great deal of money just enough to fund me for a couple of months while I do this initial research. Any ideas suggestions or donations :-) gratefully received

What a great project, I wish you well ... try this organisation for some of the funding, I know they do award grants for appropriate projects.

PS: If you look North Wessex Downs AONB up on Wikipedia you will find links to their partners and other AONB which may cover some of the Ridgeway.

Most main libraries hold a "directory of grant making trusts" in the reference section - the librarians will be happy to help, I'm sure.
Also, if you know any professional fundraisers, they may use IT apps such as "Raisers Edge" - very useful fundraising tools.
Good luck.
