This funding is for projects that build stronger connections across communities. The Community Fund is looking for ideas that strengthen these connections by exploring and developing the conditions needed to build better and longer-lasting ways of bringing people together.

The Community Fund is interested in projects that:

• deliver across at least two UK countries (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales) – The Community Fund encourage smaller organisations to work in a network or partnership
• are bold and experimental responses to bringing people together using new approaches, or a new combination of approaches
• can demonstrate clear positive impacts for communities, including those communities most in need of support
• have a clear focus on equality, diversity and inclusion
• can demonstrate they can learn and adapt as they go.

Funding size

Up to a maximum of £1 million for up to five years. The Community Fund expect most of the funding will go to projects that request between £200,000 and £500,000. There will be a smaller number of awards for projects above £500,000.
