Funders with open grants here include Community Foundation for Surrey, Community Foundation for Surrey (Guildford Philanthropy) and Elmbridge Borough Council.

Tandridge Together Community Fund 2026/27
Tandridge District Council
The Tandridge Together Community Fund gives small grants to local charities and voluntary groups whose work improves the health and wellbeing of residents in the Tandridge district. You can apply for up to £2,000. The 2026/27 round opened on Monday 5 October 2026 and closes on Friday 20 November 2026. To qualify, your activities must meet one or more of the fund's objectives. These include helping people live independently for as long as possible, improving emotional and physical health, reaching under-represented or hard to reach groups, and safeguarding people from abuse, neglect or poor treatment. The fund also backs work that reduces social isolation, helps reduce reliance on higher cost state interventions, supports carers to keep caring, and increases youth provision across the district. The money comes from the Tandridge Together Lottery, which launched in 2018. For every ticket sold, 10p goes into the fund, and the Council shares it out in small grants. This year the total pot is £24,000. Past awards give a good feel for what the fund supports. Recent grants paid for music and theatre workshops for disabled adults, therapeutic riding for disabled children, outings for isolated residents, a memory café for people with dementia, youth clubs, and school shoes for children across the district. You will need to show clearly how your work benefits local residents and which of the objectives it meets.

Surrey Hills Trust Fund
Surrey Hills Trust
The Surrey Hills Trust Fund gives grants to local voluntary and community groups in Surrey. It funds community projects that benefit local residents. It also supports landscape conservation and community enterprise schemes in the Surrey Hills area.
Elmbridge Digital High Street Boost
Elmbridge Borough Council
The Elmbridge Digital High Street Boost is a grant from Elmbridge Borough Council. It helps independent high street retailers set up a new e-commerce website or upgrade an existing one, so customers can buy from you online. You can apply for up to £2,000. The first £1,000 is fully funded, so you do not need to put in any money of your own. Any grant above £1,000, up to the £2,000 limit, needs a 50% match from you. Each application is assessed on its own merits, so the percentage you receive may vary. This grant suits independent retailers with a shop in the primary or secondary frontage of Elmbridge's town centres and high streets. If your shop is in town but outside these areas, the board may still consider you at its discretion. The money must go on an e-commerce website. It will not pay for websites without online selling, hardware, coaching or consultancy, maintenance, domain names, stand-alone hosting or paid advertising. It also cannot cover professional fees or ongoing costs such as annual fees. When you apply, you will need two comparable quotes, including one from an Elmbridge-based supplier. Only UK-based suppliers can be considered. You will also need to describe your current online presence, set out the benefits you expect, and include a sustainability action plan. One important point: do not start your project before you receive a grant. Projects that have already begun are not eligible, and the council pays the grant only once the work is complete. Each applicant can receive one grant only. Official source: https://www.elmbridge.gov.uk/business/support-businesses/business/support-businesses/elmbridge-digital-high-street-boost.

Guildford Young Carers Fund
Community Foundation for Surrey (Guildford Philanthropy)
The Guildford Young Carers Fund gives grants of up to £400 to help young carers who live in the Borough of Guildford. It is an initiative under Guildford Philanthropy and works with the Community Foundation for Surrey. The fund supports young carers aged 5 to 18 inclusive with their educational, emotional and social needs. Councillor Mike Parsons set up the fund during his year as mayor in 2018/19. Up to 20% of children aged 5 to 18 in some parts of Guildford are thought to have caring duties. This can affect their schoolwork, mental health and friendships. A grant can pay for extra non-statutory help in school or college, tuition outside school, or IT equipment that supports learning. It can also cover school trips, outings, residential activities, courses, music, sport, play and club memberships outside school. Money is also available for chances to meet and connect with other young carers. Young carers and families cannot apply directly. Instead, staff at Guildford schools or at Action for Carers Surrey apply on behalf of the young carers they support. If the Fund Panel approves a grant, the money is paid by BACS to the referring organisation. You can usually expect to hear the outcome within 6 to 8 weeks. One important point: the fund will not pay for services that are the statutory responsibility of local authorities. It also cannot provide a laptop where a government body has a duty to supply one. If you are a school or support worker, read the guidance notes before you send a form, so your request fits within these limits.

Carers Support (Guildford) Fund
Community Foundation for Surrey (Guildford Philanthropy)
The Carers Support (Guildford) Fund gives small grants to unpaid carers aged 18 and over who live in the Borough of Guildford. It is part of Guildford Philanthropy and is managed by the Community Foundation for Surrey. The aim is to give you a break from caring and to help improve your well-being and quality of life. Grants can pay for short respite breaks or holidays, club memberships for social or leisure activities, and training courses to learn new skills. They can also cover second-hand computers or IT equipment, holiday play schemes for the person you care for, travel costs for specific activities that give you respite, and the cost of arranging respite care cover so you can take time off. You cannot apply on your own. Your application must come through an organisation that works directly with carers and can confirm your needs. This could be Action for Carers Surrey, a Surrey County Council social care and health team, an NHS older adult or mental health team, or a local charity that supports carers. One important limit: grants cannot pay for services that the local authority has a statutory duty to provide. Carers can be helped more than once. One carer, Sally, received five grants over four years. They paid for regular visits to RHS Wisley Gardens and trips to see family and a close friend. The fund exists thanks to the former trustees of Carers Support (Guildford), working with Guildford Philanthropy, the Community Foundation for Surrey and Guildford Borough Council. Every application is reviewed carefully so the money reaches the carers who need it most. Official source: https://www.cfsurrey.org.uk/fund/carers-support-guildford-fund.

Surrey Young People's Fund
Community Foundation for Surrey
The Surrey Young People's Fund gives small grants to young people aged 16 to 25 who live in Surrey. It helps them move towards a clear goal in education, training, an apprenticeship or work. The fund was established in October 2014 to help disadvantaged young people get into training and employment. A panel of experienced volunteers decides on the grants. Grants are usually between £50 and £350. The panel could consider up to £750 in exceptional circumstances. The money pays for things that directly improve a young person's employability skills. That could mean gaining qualifications, certificates or licences, or building vocational or technical skills. It could also mean self-development that boosts social skills, motivation and confidence. Examples include course and exam fees, travel for education, training or work, and childcare for short-term courses. Equipment, tools, materials, work or training clothing, volunteering or work placement costs, and online learning can also be funded. The fund suits young people who are financially disadvantaged. Successful applicants are typically care leavers, carers, refugees, or young people with disabilities, health or mental health conditions. Others include those not in full-time work or in low-paid roles, and those with fewer than five GCSEs at grades 4 to 9. Keep in mind that this is a funder of last resort. You will be expected to show you could not get funding elsewhere. Funds are limited, so you may not receive the full amount you ask for. The fund cannot pay for anything retrospectively. Wait for a decision before you book a course, start an activity or spend any money. Official source: https://www.cfsurrey.org.uk/fund/the-surrey-young-peoples-fund.

Your Councillor Community Fund
Surrey County Council
Surrey County Councillors have budgets to fund local community projects. You can apply for money to run projects that help your local area. Projects must improve social, economic, or environmental well-being in the community. Each councillor has their own budget to give out. You need to apply to your local Surrey County Councillor. The funding amount varies by councillor. Applications are accepted throughout the year. You must be an organisation or group, not an individual.
