Third Sector Resilience Fund (TSRF): analysis of applications and wards
Analysis of the data on applications to the Third Sector Resilience Fund (TSRF) and the awards made through the fund.
7. Funding Awarded by Number of Employees
Organisations were asked how many staff members they employed. The data is summarised in Table 4. These figures were provided as total number of staff members, rather than number of full-time equivalent staff.
Overall at least 1,098 TSOs with paid employees were awarded grants from the TSRF. Between them, these organisations employed 13,989 people at the time of application. 189 of the organisations that were awarded TSRF funding reported that they did not employ any staff, and 62 awards were made to organisations where data on staff numbers is not available.

Table 4: Grants Awarded by Number of Staff in Organisation
As the Figure 12 shows, the largest share of funding (£6,720,001) was awarded to small organisations with 3-25 employees. The largest number of applications came from organisations with 3-10 employees (1,099), and this category accounted for the largest number of awards (510), with an application success rate of 46.4 per cent, just above the average of 45 per cent.
The smallest share of funding was provided to organisations with over 300 employees (£75,000), with only one award made out of 11 applications.
