Community and voluntary organisations have a key role to play in improving the lives of residents and in building stronger communities. The Strengthening Communities Grant Scheme provides funding of up to £15,000 for organisational and service development so they can deliver the services our residents need now and in the future.
The scheme is open for applications from 10 March 2025 and the deadline for applications is 5pm on 23 April 2025.
All applicants will be informed of the outcome of their application by 9 May 2025 for projects to be delivered between June 2025 and May 2026.
To find out if you could be eligible for funding and how to apply, click on the scheme criteria and guidance link below. Please read all pages before completing your application. To apply you need to complete the application, project plan and project budget forms provided and submit these with a copy of your organisation’s governing document, a copy of your most recent annual accounts and a copy of a bank statement in your organisation’s name and dated within the last 3 months.
We will be attending an online ‘Meet the Funder’ session hosted by Basingstoke Voluntary Action where you can find out more and ask any questions on 24 March, 12.30pm to 1.30pm via Zoom.
If you are unable to attend this or would like an informal one to one chat about your ideas before you apply or would like any help with your application, please email grants@basingstoke.gov.uk.
Applicants are strongly advised to either attend an information session or speak to us before applying.
