Our Getting to Know You form is a chance for groups that are new to us to introduce themselves and their work. The details you submit will be saved on our database and used to match your organisation to any relevant funding that becomes available. When we identify funding that is a good fit for your organisation we will invite you to submit a full application.
It is likely that the number of eligible organisations will outnumber the amount of funding we have available at any given time. To avoid wasting applicants’ time, we will keep the number of groups we invite to apply proportionate to the value of grants we are able to make. We will be as transparent as we can about how we make these decisions, and will keep in touch with all groups on our database on a regular basis to update them on our grantmaking.
Voluntary, community and social enterprise groups based in Devon with an annual income under £1 million that are working to tackle inequalities and strengthen communities.
From 6 August 2026, we will be making grants based purely on data received via Getting To Know You forms.
If you have not previously submitted a Getting To Know You and would like to continue to be considered for funding, please fill out and submit a form. You will need to complete the eligibility checklist below to access the form, which should not take more than about twenty minutes in total.
If you are unsure, you can check a full list using the link above to see if your organisation has previously submitted.
Please note that for all groups on our database we will also draw on publicly available information, such as website and social media content, to get a fuller and up-to-date picture of your activity.
