Grants of up to £10,000 available under new Community Grants Programme

November 2017

The new Community Grants programme wants to support voluntary sector groups who are working to improve the quality of life for people and families in Hertfordshire.

Designed to complement HCC’s Community First approach, the grants aim to develop the resilience and capacity of our communities, helping them to help themselves and reduce the demand on statutory services.

With a clear focus on prevention, we’re looking for projects that support people to take positive actions to reduce the difficulties they experience and the need for more intensive interventions.

Applications are welcome from registered charities, constituted community groups or other charitable organisations working for the benefit of the county. More information including additional eligibility information, grant criteria and application guidance is available here

To apply, groups will need to submit an online application form along with some supporting documents by 22nd December. Shortlisted applicants will then present directly to the decision making panel on 25th/26th January.

The Community Grants programme is being funded by Hertfordshire County Council’s Community Wellbeing and Children’s Services teams, managed by Hertfordshire Community Foundation and supported by Connect Hertfordshire.
