For charities looking for funding, ensure to complete our Charity Registration to hear from us when the funding application opens.

How it works:
College SAFE schemes raise money.
They all do this in different ways. Some use an opt-out system where a charity donation is added to each student's bills, others put on fundraisers.
Charities apply to us.
We have a centralised system and charities register with us and apply for funding for projects on an annual basis. Each charity may put forward more than one project.
College SAFEs review applications.
The college SAFE schemes then look at all the applications and decide which projects to fund.
