10GM is a Greater Manchester VCSE infrastructure funder that channels public and lottery money into place-based, community-led programmes rather than open-ended general support. Its work centers on strengthening local voluntary sector capacity, building inclusive community spaces, and backing targeted projects that improve health, wellbeing, and social connection for underserved residents. Most opportunities are managed through partner organisations and are invitation-based or tightly scoped to specific programmes.
Program-specific, mostly invite-only or managed through partner CVS organisations, with small to medium grants for local VCSEs and a few large pooled programmes (including multi-year investment). Awards are typically restricted to Greater Manchester and are tied to defined outcomes, with no unsolicited proposals for several funds.

Watch for programme-specific rounds and apply through the relevant delivery partner (often Salford CVS or another local infrastructure body), since several funds do not accept unsolicited proposals. Align proposals tightly to Greater Manchester priorities, clearly show local VCSE reach, and emphasize measurable outcomes such as reduced inequalities, stronger community infrastructure, or increased participation among underserved groups.
