Together with our donors, clients and fund holders Devon Community Foundation invests in strengthening local communities. We award grants to charities, voluntary and community groups in Devon.
The majority of grants we award are between £1,000 and £5,000 (with the average around £2,000) and we are particularly interested in supporting smaller community groups.
We aim to make the grant application process simple and accessible for all local voluntary and community groups, regardless of size and professional fund-raising expertise.
