Central Fund
Suffolk Community Foundation
The Central Fund at Suffolk Community Foundation is open all year round. It offers grants of up to £5,000 and includes the Suffolk Giving Fund. The Foundation asks you to use it first, unless you think a named fund on its list suits your organisation better. It is aimed at local charities and community groups in Suffolk. The Foundation considers applications for core costs, project costs and, in some cases, equipment under £5,000. Here is how it works. If no named fund is open for your project, the Central Fund gives you access to the Foundation's small donor funds and the Suffolk Giving Fund. The team will take your application to a suitable small donor fund where possible, subject to timing and availability. Or it may take it to the Suffolk Giving Fund, a rolling programme that awards grants four times a year. Sometimes it will take your application to more than one fund to try to raise the amount secured. There are a few things to keep in mind. Most funds are heavily oversubscribed, so some strong applications are still declined. If no suitable fund is available when you apply, the Foundation may have to decline your application. Only one Suffolk Giving Fund grant can be awarded per organisation in a 12-month period, so contact the team before applying again if you already hold one. Applications are made online through a secure Funding Portal, on a new platform called Plinth that the Foundation is introducing from 1 June 2026. It includes a short eligibility check, and you can save your progress and come back later. Official source: https://suffolkcf.org.uk/current-grants/. Last checked by GrantMatch on 16 October 2026.
Stimulus Fund
Suffolk Community Foundation
The Stimulus Fund from Suffolk Community Foundation helps charitable, voluntary and community groups to bring more people into tennis in Suffolk. It pays for project costs on small, local grassroots schemes. The fund was set up by the Suffolk Lawn Tennis Association. It wants to take tennis further into the community, both socially and geographically. It also wants to give people who have not had the chance before an opportunity to play. Projects should promote tennis in areas of deprivation, including rural areas, and help people who are disadvantaged or vulnerable. You can ask for up to £1,000. The fund aims to encourage young people up to the age of 30 to enjoy tennis or return to it. The emphasis is on increasing membership and making tennis sessions sustainable. Activity camps that include other sports can also be considered, as long as tennis is a major part and an experienced tennis coach supports the sessions. The fund is open all year round. Decisions are made on a regular basis as demand dictates, so there is no closing date to work towards. One practical point to note: any application that involves tennis coaching should only be undertaken by qualified LTA coaches. The page also says social enterprises cannot apply to this fund. If you have questions, you can call a Grants Officer at Suffolk Community Foundation on 01473 602602 before you submit your application.
