How to Apply session: Hackney VCS Grants - Community Chest
Community Chest
Grants for local groups to deliver short term or one-off activities. Organisations can apply for up to £1,000 to deliver projects which contribute to the programme’s priorities. There are four (previously three) rounds of Community Chest grants during the year.
Community Chest grants are focused towards grassroots organisations and local residents and therefore in order to apply for a Community Chest, organisations must have an annual income of below £10,000.
The Grants Programme will continue to focus on one of Hackney Council’s Equality Objectives which is:
To deliver actions which aim to narrow the gap in outcomes between certain disadvantaged groups and the wider community
The Programme will also continue to focus on two of Hackney Council’s strategic priorities:
- To promote social inclusion, encourage independence and develop personal resilience
- To build positive relations between different groups and communities that will maintain the high levels of community cohesion in Hackney
