New community grants available for Crawley voluntary and community organisations

This funding programme aims to support voluntary and community groups with grants of £5,000 or more, if they meet the council’s priorities for funding and apply successfully.

The council awards one-off and regular grants of up to three years to organisations for new or existing activity that will benefit the people of Crawley and demonstrate their service’s outcomes.

Proposals selected for funding will be able to provide a local project or service supported by the council from April 2023. Organisations should apply before Friday 2 December.

Councillor Sue Mullins said: “We are proud to continue to offer this funding support to not-for-profit organisations working in Crawley.

“The charities and community groups funded will provide a range of support in the borough to help residents and groups in need.

“We are particularly interested in applications for support to help with the cost of living crisis in the short-term as small grants or with strategic grants available from April 2023.”

Not-for-profit organisations interested in applying for a grant should contact Craig Downs, Funding and Commissioning Officer, on 01293 438763 or email [email protected] to discuss your proposal.

The online form will check your eligibility for a grant and guide you through the application process. Strategic grants awarded will be announced in March 2023.

The council’s community grants support voluntary action in Crawley. It can aid local non-profit voluntary and community organisations with setting up or running projects, services, and events that benefit Crawley residents and visitors.
