Community Capital
Big Society Fund
The deadline for applications to the Community Capital fund
has now closed. The judging panels will meet in each
district/borough/city throughout November. Applicants will be
advised within a few days whether or not they’ve been
successful.
Community Response
The Community Response fund is still open for expressions
of interest. Applications to this fund will only be considered
where the need is evidenced clearly by the applicant that
funding is required for time critical initiatives, or initiatives that
require one-off start-up funding.
Expressions of interest are also invited from private
enterprises operating for or providing social benefits, for
example, community shops or pubs (please note that only
businesses which are the only business of that type in the
community will be able to apply for a grant).
We are still accepting expressions of interest for any
feasibility, design and planning work.
This fund is subject to a maximum application of £10,000 for
any one project.
