CCF MicroGrants [<£1K]
CCF and WVA proudly working together
Cheshire Community Foundation are delighted to announce a new Microgrants Programme. This programme will be delivered in partnership with Warrington Voluntary Action. These microgrants form a part of Cheshire Community Foundation’s larger Warrington Fund.
About the Fund
Through the Warrington Fund Microgrants, we want to invest in projects and organisations which:
- Reduce loneliness and improve wellbeing for the people of Warrington
- Raise self-confidence for the people of Warrington
- Improve the capacity and/or sustainability of projects which work in these areas.
All funded projects will work within the Borough of Warrington and be able to deliver measurable outcomes in at least one of the above areas.
Based on community feedback, we are also keen to hear from projects which:
- Work with refugee and migrant communities.
- Work with new or expecting parents.
- Work with neurodiverse children and young people.
- Have a focus on mental health.
What can I apply for?
The Microgrants programme will provide grants up to £1,000 (typically £500) for community-led projects. These grants will prioritise new or grassroots organisations working directly with people in their communities. This could be either through existing work or by piloting new approaches.
All applicants will be required to meet our general eligibility criteria, as well as our Grantmaking principles and minimum standards.
