Time is running out to apply for community funding

Round 9 of the Community and Culture Project Fund is still open for applications, but deadline is looming to apply.  The application period closes on Thursday, 5 June.

The grants, which are managed by Dorset Council, welcome applications for projects and events for community, arts, accredited museums, heritage, sport, youth, play and physical activity.

This fund offers small grants ranging from £1,500 to £5,000 to support organisations who want to start new activities or events that make a real difference to the lives of Dorset residents, especially those who are marginalised or disadvantaged.

Applicants must provide a minimum of 20% of their total project costs and demonstrate how their projects will make an impact in their communities. For details on eligibility and how to apply, visit the website at Community and Culture Project Fund Round 9.

Cllr Ryan Hope, Cabinet Member for Customer, Culture and Community Engagement at Dorset Council, said: “I am very pleased we can provide these small but vital grants that enrich the lives of people who live and work in Dorset.

“The previous rounds of grants have been a real success story with many exciting projects launched and supported for local communities.

“We look forward to making many new grant awards in the coming weeks.”
