One-off grants are available for local community organisations and charities that have already secured matched funding for local community initiatives across England, Scotland and Wales.

Persimmon Community Champions is a national programme where charities and groups can apply for funding up to the value of £1,000 to match money they have already raised themselves

The funding is available for local community initiatives across Great Britain.

The following are merely a few of the organisations that have received funding (a full list by month is on the Persimmons Homes website):

 The total funding pot each year is £750,000 with 60 donations of up to £1,000 given every month.

All Persimmon’s businesses have £2,000 to give away every month (29 regional businesses, plus Persimmon’s head office) which means £60,000 is being donated every month.

The maximum grant available is £1,000.

 Applicants must have already raised funds themselves.
Local community groups and charities in England, Scotland and Wales are eligible to apply.
