The grants panel meets to consider applications throughout the year, approximately every two months. You can apply to this programme any time throughout the year and your application will be reviewed at the next meeting, based on the current deadline.
HCF are looking for projects that:
Are meeting an identified need in the county - we encourage groups to reference evidence where available. We encourage applicants to reference our own Hertfordshire Matters reports or other relevant research or data where appropriate.
Can demonstrate how the money requested will help them to make a positive difference (i.e. have clear objectives and outcomes).
Are well thought through and costed appropriately.
Are well connected to the communities they serve.
Will be able to spend the funding requested within 12 months of the grant being awarded.
You must also meet our HCF Large Grants criteria which are available as a pdf below.
You can still apply for needs emerging as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic - please see our Coronavirus Relief Fund criteria for guidance (below). You can only apply for up to £5,000.
