Grant award opportunities for VCSE organisations in Devon

We are keen to share an opportunity with our local voluntary and community groups who are providing services or activities for the benefit of people and communities in Devon. Together with other qualifying organisations in the county, you can apply for funding through a new scheme, the ‘Growing Communities Fund’. Grants are available from £500 to £3,000.

This new fund, administered by Devon County Council, will assist projects which directly benefit communities, either by helping to build self-reliance and resilience, tackling hardship such as food and fuel inequality, improving mental health and wellbeing, addressing loneliness and isolation, or responding to the climate emergency.

Schemes that are eligible for funding can be new initiatives responding to an identified need, or those that link to established work but use innovation to improve efficiency and provision or reach a wider audience.

Please follow this link for more information and to apply for your grant today: Growing Communities Fund. Applications must be submitted online and funding used or allocated before 31st March 2023.

If you’re applying for a grant from the Growing Communities Fund, good luck! Please feel free to share any successful funding bids with us so that we can promote and celebrate your work within our local communities.
