Gannett Foundation
The South Wales Argus charities in Gwent the chance to improve their community by applying for a Gannett Foundation Grant.
The Argus can give charity groups the opportunity of a helping hand, with grants of between £1,000 and £5,000 available.
Larger grants may be made for exceptional projects - like the £28.500 we awarded Pontllanfraith-based Pheonix Community Transport last year.
The funding is thanks to Gannett, the US parent company of Newsquest and owner of the Argus.
The Gannett Foundation supports projects which take a creative approach to issues affecting young people and disabled people.
It gives priority to youth projects, particularly involving young people with special needs either through disability or disadvantage.
