The Community Capacity Programme is now open for new applications
Funding totalling £1.715m is now available for local community-based projects. Projects are able to apply for grants between £1,000 and £25,000.
This fund is to support community organisations to develop projects or project ideas. Organisations will then be in a stronger position to access wider funding opportunities.
About the Fund
The Community Capacity Fund is part of the delivery of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund in Cornwall and comes under the Good Growth Programme.
The fund is managed by the Localism department of Cornwall Council.
Examples of work that could be funded by the Community Capacity programme include:
- feasibility studies
- business plans
- architects’ drawings
- concept plans
- other professional support to determine the concept of your project
- community engagement programmes leading to the development of a wider project
Particular emphasis will be given to supporting those areas that have little or no experience of applying for and securing funding.
Community Capacity Fund is a revenue only programme.
