FCC Community Action Fund

FCC Communities Foundation

£10,000 - £100,000England, Scotland, Wales

The FCC Community Action Fund offers grants of between £10,000 and £100,000 to not-for-profit organisations. It pays for amenity projects that are eligible under Object D and Object DA of the Landfill Communities Fund (LCF). Location matters most here. Your project must be sited within 10 miles of an eligible FCC Environment waste facility. If it is not, your application cannot be accepted. To see whether you are near an eligible site, click Apply and complete the pre-application eligibility check. The 2026-4 round opens on 2 September 2026 and closes on 18 November 2026. The Board makes funding decisions quarterly, around 16 weeks after a round closes. Build that wait into your project timeline. The fund is oversubscribed. The funder limits the types of project it will support and what it will pay for. Before you apply, download and read the Guide for Applicants for this round, FCC CAF Guide 2026-4. It explains in detail what can and cannot be funded and what you will need to provide. This fund suits not-for-profit organisations planning a community amenity project close to an FCC Environment waste site. Your project needs to fit the LCF rules, and you need to be able to wait several months for a decision. Official source: https://fcccommunitiesfoundation.org.uk/funds/fcc-community-action-fund.
