Our sessions:
Tuesday 23 February, Kent Community Foundation (KCF), 11.30-13.00
KCF is part of a national network of 46 Community Foundations committed to improving the lives of local people and communities, particularly the most vulnerable, isolated and disadvantaged. Not only does KCF run their owned grants programme (including their new 20th Anniversary Fund – Core Support) but they also help generous individuals, families, organisations, trusts and foundations establish and administer their own charitable funds to support the causes that mean the most to them in Kent and Medway.
The majority of KCF grant-making is to groups, in particular small community and voluntary groups that are charitable in purpose and are working for the benefit of people in Kent and Medway. You do not have to be a registered charity to apply for a grant; however the work you ask KCF to support must be legally charitable and your group must be constituted. Average grant size is £5,000.
Tuesday 2 March, Children In Need, 10.00-11.30
Children in Need fund not-for-profit organisations who work with disadvantaged children and young people aged 18 years and under, living in the UK, the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands.
Tuesday 9 March, Colyer-Fergusson Charitable Trust, 13.30-15.00
Colyer-Fergusson make grants to support vulnerable and disadvantaged people living in Kent and Medway.
Tuesday 16 March, Reaching Communities, 14.00 – 15.30
The Reaching Communities programme offers over £10,000 for up to five years for voluntary or community organisations that work with their community to help them thrive. They fund projects that work to make positive changes in their community – whether that is for people living in the same area, or people with similar interests or life experiences.
Tuesday 23 March, Heritage Fund, 10.00-11.30
Heritage Fund fund projects that connect people and communities to the national, regional and local heritage of the UK.
Tuesday 30 March, Lloyds Bank Foundation, 10.00-11.30*
