The Small Grants Scheme provides funding of up to £1,000 to community and voluntary groups/organisations across Buckinghamshire, especially those working at grass roots and local community level across a wide range of activities.

Emergency funding up to £1,000 is also available, for example for flood recovery costs.

Applications must be made to the relevant Community Board and funding used for the benefit of the community area concerned.

The aim of the Small Grants Scheme is to support a resilient voluntary, community and social enterprise sector in Buckinghamshire and to fund the entire cost of small one-off projects.

We welcome all voluntary and community groups to apply.

There’s a huge variety of projects and activities that we will support, including (but are not limited to):

• equipment
• coaching or training activity
• project costs
• transport costs
• community events and activities

This could include small grants to ensure facilities and volunteers are able to operate safely and funding to support small groups and community projects to reopen.

All applications must provide evidence of ‘not for profit’ status, projects, activities in relation to their application.
