Apply for a Grant

Cambridgeshire Community Foundation awards grants for charitable projects undertaken by voluntary and charitable groups in Cambridgeshire.

Our main grant making is directed to our five core grant programmes

• Children, young people and families
• Adults facing a life crisis
• Health
• The local environment
• Community engagement

The Foundation aims to support the smaller groups who are doing vital work but who have real difficulties in raising funds. The majority of the grants awarded are for small amounts of between £250 and £3,000 and most of the work we fund is seeking to tackle a need or disadvantage.

We award grants from the Funds that local individuals, companies, and local and national government set up with us. The funds have different criteria (including the amounts they give out) and on receiving your application we will match your request to the most appropriate fund (unfortunately we will not be able to find a match for all requests received).

More information can be found on our Grant Guidelines page.

To make an application, please go to the Grant Application page

Deadlines

Applications can be submitted at any time. As stated above, on receipt of your application, we will determine whether your request fits into any of the criteria of the different funds we hold. If there is a match we will inform you of the date when the appropriate panel is meeting and hence when your application will be reviewed. Some of our fund panels meet monthly, others on a quarterly or 6 monthly basis. If you would like advice before making an application, please telephone us or send an email:
