Deadline: 1 October 2024
This grant programme offers 12-month grants of £1,000 – £10,000 for not-for-profit community organisations. HIWCF will only make grants to organisations based in and supporting work within Hampshire, Portsmouth, Southampton, and the Isle of Wight. The community activities and services that this grants programme will fund need to meet all three of the following programme criteria.:
1) Your application must be for work that reaches people living hard and challenging lives. Your bid should make clear how the requested funding will reach people who are living in poverty, facing discrimination, or isolated. This funding allows work with people of all ages. AND 2) Your application must be for work that regularly brings together members of the community (e.g. support groups, social action projects, volunteering initiatives, community groups). AND 3) Your application must show how local people/ people from your target community helped to shape this work – this could be through these people being consulted, volunteering, or leading the work.
Your grant application can be for new or existing community activities and services.
