Applications for this year’s **Pride Social Impact Fund**, which ensures the positive contribution of the UK’s most popular LGBTQ+ celebration, are now open.

Due to the generosity of Pride attendees and local businesses, which comes from contributions made by businesses within the **Pride Village Party** in the Kemptown/St James’s Street area, more than **£30,000** is available to distribute to grassroots groups across Brighton & Hove who need a helping hand to support their work.

Bids will be considered by a panel made up of representatives from *The Argus*, *BBC Sussex*, *Brighton & Hove News*, *Brighton & Hove Independent*, *Sussex Life*, *Latest* magazine and *Latest TV* with notification of awards by the end of December.

Submissions, which should be a maximum of 400 words, should map out how the money will be spent and why it’s a deserving cause. The maximum award will be **£1,000** and there is no lower limit.

The panel also has the potential of awarding one or two larger grants of up to **£10,000**. These bids need to comprehensively meet the criteria, namely supporting good causes in areas directly impacted by Pride. Any money distributed needs to have had a visible outcome by the start of **Pride 2020**.

There is no restriction on the ‎number of entries by individual groups.‎ However, the emphasis is on supporting community and grassroots groups, rather than individuals.

To submit an entry, email **Bhsocialimpactfund@gmail.com** by **noon** on **December 9**.
