community funding
Our believe housing community grant scheme supports projects that make a real difference to people’s lives and wellbeing.
New grant funding opportunity
Community groups struggling with rising costs can apply for a grant to help run new or existing services or activities.
We have an opportunity for groups to apply for two Core Cost Grants of £10,000 available in the south west of County Durham.
This funding is part of a pilot initiative and applications are open for a limited time.
To be eligible, groups must deliver services and activities that support communities where believe housing has homes, including its customers. Its projects must link to at least one of believe housing’s key themes and the funding must be used to help cover essential running expenses for between 9 and 12 months.
Expressions of interest must be submitted by Sunday, 1 December. Eligible groups will be sent an application form so they can submit further details before the final deadline on Sunday, 15 December.
