Overview
Kent Community Foundation gives grants to support local people, charities and community groups in Kent and Medway. This listing covers its funding for organisations, which is aimed at charities and community groups. The Foundation funds work under five priority areas: mental health and wellbeing; children, young people and families; crisis and basic needs; connected communities; and the environment. Through these areas it funds hundreds of charities and community groups across the county. Its vision is a Kent and Medway where every community has the opportunity to thrive. Help is on hand if you are new to applying. The Foundation says hundreds of small charities and community groups secure funding with its support every year. You can read its application guidance, browse the FAQs and use a short eligibility checker to see whether your organisation qualifies. The Grants Team can guide you through the process by email at hello@kentcf.org.uk or by phone on 01303 814 500. The Foundation also has other routes. 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. One practical point: this page works as a starting point rather than a full set of guidelines. Use the eligibility checker and the guidance before you begin, so you can be sure your work fits one of the priority areas and your organisation qualifies.
