Grants
Community Foundation grants are for community and voluntary organisations in and around Calderdale.
Applications are welcomed from constituted community or voluntary groups. We primarily serve Calderdale, but deliver several grants schemes to other districts of West Yorkshire and beyond. In some cases, groups do not need to be registered charities.
While we administer funds on behalf of a wide range of Donors, in most cases you simply need to complete a standard application form. Decisions are usually made in about eight weeks of us receiving a complete application, with all of the supporting documents.
Scroll down to 'Funds currently available' for a full list of our grants, including the current health grants that are available, and click on the respective links for more information and an application pack.
Grants application process – now online
The Foundation now operates an online grants application process, to make it even easier to apply and quicker to get a decision. Once you have read through the details of funds available (including the criteria, priorities and guidelines) and the general Conditions of Grant Aid simply click on the appropriate links below:
(*maximum £5,000 but up to £10,000 in exceptional circumstances or for certain funds). You will automatically be taken to an online form, which you can then save and return to as many times as you wish - when you are ready, simply click to submit it and the information will go straight to our database. You will get an email confirmation with a short form of additional questions attached, to help us meet specific local requirements, and details of what documents you will need to post to us within six weeks of applying.
If you struggle to use the new online process, email us on grants@cffc.co.uk; however, you need to be aware that it could take longer to get a decision if you do not apply online.
If you need further information, read the guidance below, or come to a monthly drop-in, where you will be given helpful support and advice.
