Who can apply?

Funding can be awarded to a constituted, not for profit organisation of any kind (community groups, registered charities, CIOs, tenants and residents associations, and CIC’s). 

Grants are available for projects that will primarily and directly benefit residents of the Dartford Big Local area, either as participants in activities, or as volunteers involved in delivery. 

Your organisation does not need to be based in the area.

If you are an individual with an idea for a project that will benefit your community, you will need to find an organisation that will act as ‘purse-holder’ and support delivery of your project. 

Contact the Community Funding Coordinator for advice on this.
