Small Community Capital Projects Fund

Who can apply?

To guide you in deciding whether to put forward a project, please note all of the following points:

the Small Community Capital Projects Fund only awards money for the purchase, creation or significant renovation of capital assets. (It does not fund past, current or future running costs, or your organisation's core costs, for example).
the Small Community Capital Projects Fund awards grants up to a maximum of £20,000 per project (except for Dover which is £2,500).
you should not regard the maximum grant as a target figure. In practice, most allocations from the fund will be for smaller amounts.
any funding awarded is a one-off payment.
we only award grants to properly constituted organisations. (This includes organisations such as district, parish and town councils, voluntary and community groups, churches, societies, charities, etc. You must show in your application, that your organisation is properly and legally organised, and has its own bank account).
grants are not to replace funding for other support you may be eligible to obtain, or that you have obtained in the past, from us.
we will consider applications from religious groups, but the application must show that the project will bring wider community benefit.

If you are unsure whether you are eligible to apply for this grant, please contact your local Community Engagement Officer for advice.
