ESF Community Grants Programme - new funding available


If you are a charity, voluntary or community organisation working in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes, or Oxfordshire and are supporting unemployed people over 18 years of age you can apply for a grant of up to £15,000.  

Organisations with an income of £300,000 a year are now eligible to apply, as long as you have no more than 9 full-time employees.

Funding for Capacity Building.  This is a new element of the grants programme.  Up to 10% of your total grant request can be for training costs, either related to the project that is the focus of this grant application or for broader issues around the long-term sustainability of your organisation. This could include fundraising, business development, social media, or anything that will build or organisation’s capacity. 

The next deadline is 2nd June, and the final deadline is 1st September.  All projects will need to be completed by 30th March 2015.

For further information, criteria and an application form please contact Hilary Burr – hilary.burr@ocva.org.uk
