Social Lending Programme
Kent Community Foundation
Kent Community Foundation offers a Social Lending Programme with unsecured loans of £10,000 to £100,000. Up to 30% of the amount can be given as a grant. The foundation describes the programme as ideal for organisations looking to grow, innovate or sustain their impact. It is one of several ways the foundation supports charities and community groups across Kent and Medway. The foundation's wider funding focuses on five priority areas: mental health and wellbeing; children, young people and families; crisis and basic needs; connected communities; and the environment. Its vision is a Kent and Medway where every community has the opportunity to thrive. One thing to keep in mind is that this is mainly a loan, not a grant. At least 70% of the amount would be a loan, so it is worth thinking about how your organisation would manage repayments before you go further. If you want to talk it through, the foundation's friendly Grants Team can guide you. You can email hello@kentcf.org.uk or call 01303 814 500. There is also a quick eligibility checker on the funding page, which can help you see whether your organisation qualifies for funding. The programme also has its own "Find out more" page.

Professionals working with people in financial hardship can nominate individuals and families for a grant. There is also a social lending programme, with unsecured loans of £10,000 to £100,000 and up to 30% as a grant. These are separate from funding for organisations.
