Deadline: 31 July 2019
Application is opened for the CAF Tourle Foundation Fund to seek award grants to local charities delivering services for local people in all parts of the UK.
This 10 year programme is funded through the generosity of a £4.5m legacy left for CAF to distribute for this purpose. The main aim of the programme is to provide funds to charitable organisations based on small places and services to the heart of their community within the UK.
An example would be a charitable organisation set up by the community in a village, providing services to older people in isolation; a small community group on an estate providing drop in sessions for teenagers etc.
Funding Information
- Grant size between £100 and £5,000.
Areas
Areas considered may include:
- Projects with a community led ethos – this may be born from a community challenge or idea and run by members of the local community;
