Applications
Applications closed
Overview
Applications closed at 5pm UK time on 31 August 2026. Project grants of up to £10,000 supported smaller local organisations testing ideas, developing services and working together to benefit Hackney residents. Projects can last up to one year. Eligible children and young people projects could also request up to £2,500 for project-specific equipment; this is a conditional addition, not a standard award for every applicant.
Requirements to check
Key requirements:
- The published guide suggests awards no higher than £1,000 for new organisations with no income and £4,000 for the lowest-income organisations. These are expectations, not minimum awards.
- Children and young people funding covers ages 6 to 19, or up to 25 with SEND. The equipment addition must relate directly to the project.
- The linked guide retains a draft cover and a 2025 introductory reference, but its application timetable explicitly gives 22 June to 31 August 2026. The live council page independently confirms the 2026 deadline and income rule.
Local voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations with annual income below £250,000. At least 80% of beneficiaries must be Hackney residents. Constituted groups, tenant and resident associations, new not-for-profit charitable companies and structured resident groups can apply. Individuals, private businesses and organisations receiving Hackney Core Grants are excluded.
