Reading Small Grants Fund offers up to £7,500 for local community projects tackling inequality and racism. Applications close on 13 November 2026, with decisions expected before Christmas. The £150,000 allocation is the whole programme budget. Projects must address an unmet local need and spend the award within 12 months.
Requirements to check
Key requirements:
- Confirm the conflicting council-funding eligibility year with Reading Borough Council.
- Provide interim and final reports after six and twelve months.
Reading charities, not-for-profit voluntary and community organisations, and schools are listed as eligible. Annual income must be below £100,000. A £20,000 council-funding exclusion also applies, but the guidance inconsistently names 2025/26 and 2026/27: confirm which year is assessed. Individuals, businesses, and identical or continuing projects funded in previous rounds are excluded. One bid per organisation.
This summary may not include every exclusion. Check the full eligibility rules, including who and what the funder will not support.
