Public sector grant programme delivery in Cambridgeshire

We are a trusted partner for grant programmes across Cambridgeshire, working with both local and national public sector partners.

Our experience, research, and knowledge of the local community ensure that programmes effectively reach intended beneficiaries. We deliver programmes efficiently and cost-effectively through our well-established systems and processes. We process applications and take care of the associated administrative tasks and due diligence. This leaves you to choose the projects you wish to support.

You will receive reports demonstrating the programme’s impact, offering valuable insights to shape future work.

How do we help to manage grant programmes?

We set up the necessary process to administer the grant, in consultation with you.
We raise awareness of the programme through our well-established community network.
We can support fundraising appeals to raise funds from the general public or local businesses, such as in the case of Cambridge Street Aid, which we partner on with Cambridge City Council.
We respond to all applicant queries related to the programme.
We use a comprehensive assessment process to assess all applications we receive. We then present them to you for consideration at grant award panels, helping you make informed decisions on which projects to support.
We communicate the decisions with applicants and manage the grant payment process.
We monitor progress and outcomes of supported projects, reporting the impact of the grant to you.
For unsuccessful applicants, we offer support to find alternative sources of funding and advice on how to increase their chances of receiving funding in the future.

“We have worked with the Foundation to design and launch the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Health Inequalities Challenge Prize.

Our experience has been nothing short of excellent and we have found the Foundation’s team to be extremely supportive, dedicated and compassionate.

As an organisation which strives to improve the lives of people living in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, particularly those who are most vulnerable, there is obvious synergy between the Foundation and NHS Cambridgeshire & Peterborough’s own ambitions to tackle health inequalities.

Partnering with the Foundation on the Health Inequalities Challenge Prize has enabled us to support fantastic initiatives which may not otherwise have had the scale to receive funding from the NHS. More importantly, funding such initiatives has brought about positive outcomes for those who need it the most.”
