Current Grant Programmes

Cornwall Community Foundation always has a variety of grant programmes running with new ones being added all the time. We support groups, projects and individuals in Cornwall and the Isles Of Scilly. You can hold more than one grant from us at a time from different funds. You do not have to be a registered charity to receive a grant from us, but you must be a not-for-profit organisation that is benevolent, charitable or philanthropic established to alleviate disadvantage in your local community.

* This is a new funding programme with imminent deadlines for the first grants panel meeting. If you are unable to send your completed application and papers before this deadline it will be submitted to the next panel meeting. Dates for panel meetings in the current and subsequent month are listed above.

This is by no means an exhaustive list of grants to which you can apply. More are available, some without panel dates so applications can be received at any time. Also, not all our grant programmes have defined panel meetings as decisions can be made remotely, particularly for crisis funds, hence the above list containing only three Funds. For details of all programmes please click the 'current funds and grant programmes' link above.
