We will be pausing applications for Small Grants from midday on Thursday 19th December until further notice.

As we have shared previously, demand for these grants has been high. Since opening this application process in June this year we have received more than 200 applications for grants totaling more than £920,000. So far we have awarded 65 grants worth more than £280,000, and counting (the video below shows some of this funding in action). As a result, the funds we have available to distribute are now depleted and we have had to make the difficult decision to close Small Grants while we review our resources.

We know this will be disappointing news as charitable organisations of all sizes are struggling for funding right now. We are working very hard behind the scenes to replenish and expand the funds that we are able to distribute through our Small Grants application process.

If you have an application in process, you will need to complete and submit it by midday on Thursday 19th December. Please contact our grants team via grants@devoncf.com if you have any questions or concerns. 

If you would like to support our commitment to providing flexible funding that strengthens communities and tackles inequalities in Devon, we would be delighted to hear from you. You can contact our Head of Development and Philanthropy, Laura Cameron Long, via lcameronlong@devoncf.com or on 01884 906 686.

We will share further updates about our Small Grants application process as soon as we can.
