- Increasing opportunities for young people within the district
- Creating inclusive and connected communities, particularly relating to covid recovery
Funding Information
They are looking to support projects and services between £1,000 – £20,000.
What will they pay for?
The Strategic Grant Fund is aimed at organisations that are already achieving good outcomes for the local community, and want to take their work to the next level. This includes:
- projects that have outcomes that are aligned with the council’s strategic grant priorities
- core funding for organisations whose strategic aims closely align with the council’s strategic grant priorities.
Eligibility Criteria
- You can apply for this grant stream if you are a not for profit organisation working in the voluntary, culture and sports sectors in the Canterbury District.
- If you are an individual or sole trader, profit-making organisation or an organisation not established in the UK, then they are unable to fund you. If you are currently in receipt of an Improvement Grant then you are ineligible to apply for a Strategic Grant.
