Community Foundation for Surrey Funding Programmes

CFSurrey Main Grants Programme

The Community Foundation runs regular application rounds throughout the year. Applicants may be considered by one or several of our family of Funds; you don’t need to research all of our Funds or specify which Fund you want to apply to; just send an Expression of Interest and we will advise if we can invite a full application. To be considered for the next round please submit an Expression of Interest to us by 9am Monday 8th July 2024. If we can invite an application, we will notify you and provide a link to the application form on 22nd July 2024. The deadline for full applications is 9am Monday 2nd September 2024.

Strategic funding

The Strategic Transformation Programme focuses on supporting local voluntary and community organisations to become more financially resilient. This is a rolling programme with no deadlines applications can be made at any time and will be processed where possible within 3 months. We are delighted that we have been successful in securing some more funding for the programme, read more here.

Crisis funding

We have limited funds available to support previous grant holders to address urgent cash flow needs. Crisis funding is used to bridge a gap in funding, to enable the organisation to develop sustainability and other income sources. A grant will not be awarded if there is no plan in place to improve your sustainability. Applicants must be able to demonstrate that a grant will make a material difference. This is a rolling programme with no deadlines and all applications will be processed rapidly. If you need to apply please email grants@cfsurrey.org.uk 

Grants for Individuals

We currently have five Funds that award grants to individuals. These are rolling programmes without deadlines and there is a separate Expression of Interest form for these funds. We recommend you read through the Fund Guidance Notes on the Grants for Individuals page before submitting an Expression of Interest.
