Deadline: 2-Sep-22
The Newcastle City Council is seeking applications for its Newcastle Fund to support residents to build sustainable community resources.
To do this, it grants financial support to VCSE organisations to pilot, expand or diversify important community activity. The Council recognises that active citizens are at the heart of community activity and so The Newcastle Fund supports projects which use the skills, local knowledge and expertise of people as assets to design solutions which:
- build community resilience
- improve individuals' resilience
- improve wellbeing and health
The Fund was introduced in 2011 and replaced a number of different grant aid programmes across the Council. It provides monies to voluntary and community sector organisations based in the City for project-specific running costs or core costs.
Funding Information
VCSE organisations can apply for up to a maximum of £50,000.
Eligibility Criteria
- The Newcastle Fund is available to constituted VCS organisations, registered charities and social enterprises. Funded activity must take place in Newcastle and benefit Newcastle residents.
-
Please note the Newcastle Fund will NOT support:
- organisations that are not constituted voluntary and community organisations, registered charities, or social enterprises
- activity outside the Newcastle City Council area or activity which targets beneficiaries who are not Newcastle residents
- costs or activities outside of the period of award
- costs associated with submitting an application
- organisations which do not have an organisational bank account
