Apply For A Grant

We have a range of different funds that you are able to apply to with a simple application form and help and support available at the end of the phone. Where ever possible, we mix-and-match applications to the most appropriate fund behind the scenes, so you don’t need to worry about which fund is right for you. If in doubt, please telephone the office before you submit an application.

We give money to all districts in Devon, including Plymouth and Torbay.

Current Grant Programmes

Devon Community Foundation always has a variety of grant programmes running, with new ones being added. We support groups and projects throughout Devon. You can hold more than one grant from us at a time from different funds. You do not have to be a registered charity to receive a grant from us, but you must be a not-for-profit organisation that is benevolent, charitable or philanthropic and established to alleviate disadvantage in your local community.

Please check this list to ensure that we have money available to support the project you wish to apply for funding for before submitting an application. Also remember to check this list regularly – remember new funds are added as they become available.

How to apply for a grant

For more information about how to apply for a grant to help a group or project click here to download our Guidelines for Applicants. We strongly recommend that you read these Guidelines before submitting an application.

Application forms

An Expression of Interest form should be completed in the first instance instead of a full application form. If we feel that your project meets the criteria for one of our funds we will then request that you complete a full application. This system will ensure that you do not spend time completing a full and detailed application for a project that may not be supported.

If you would like to know if we are able to fund a specific project please e-mail Kathy Beechen with details of the activity and how much funding you require and we will get back to you as soon as possible.


Social Deprivation Indices

A key requirement of Devon Community Foundation is to ensure that our grants target the most needy and deprived sectors within our local community. Enter a postcode to display a table of demographic data relating to your area.
