Full details from Coventry City Council
Coventry City Council's VCSE Community and Partnership Grant is part of the Crisis and Resilience Fund. It funds voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations to deliver community-based activity that helps Coventry residents become more financially resilient over the longer term, rather than providing direct crisis payments. Grants come in three tiers: Tier 1 up to £1,000, Tier 2 £1,001 to £5,000, and Tier 3 £5,001 to £10,000. Awards must be spent within 12 months, and projects must start within three months of receiving funds. Round 1 is open from 1 October to 30 November 2026; Round 2 runs 1 January to 28 February 2027. Funded work should cut material deprivation and reliance on emergency food, increase access to advice, improve budgeting and savings, reduce priority debt, maximise household income, and reduce the need for crisis support.
How to apply

Round 1 closes on 30 November 2026.
