Brockaghboy Community Benefit Fund

Greencoat Capital / Community Foundation Northern Ireland

Up to £3,000Northern Ireland

The Brockaghboy Community Benefit Fund gives local groups money for community projects near Brockaghboy Wind Farm in Swatragh, County L/Derry. The fund was set up in 2016 by TCI Renewables and was later taken over by Greencoat Capital. Its aim is to support locally beneficial, community-based projects and initiatives. You can apply for up to £3,000. The fund is interested in projects that improve collaboration among local groups and organisations. It also looks for projects that bring clear benefit to people experiencing disadvantage or life limiting circumstances, make more use of existing community space and sustainable venues, bring different generations together, or increase local participation through sports, culture and the arts. This fund suits charities and community organisations based within a 6km radius of the wind farm. The distance is measured in a straight line, so where your organisation is located really matters. The page invites applications only from organisations inside that area. The closing date is 5 November 2026 at 1pm. The fund is listed on the Community Foundation Northern Ireland page of open grants. Check that your organisation and project are eligible before you start, and aim to finish your application well before the closing time.

Long Mountain Community Benefit Fund

Energia Renewables / Community Foundation Northern Ireland

Up to £3,000Northern Ireland

The Long Mountain Community Benefit Fund supports local community projects near the Long Mountain Wind Farm on Glenbuck Road, Dunloy. Energia Renewables set the fund up with local groups, so that the wind farm brings social and economic benefits to the people who live nearby. The Community Foundation for Northern Ireland administers it. You can apply for up to £3,000. The fund backs projects that are planned and run for the benefit of the local population. Its priorities are projects that develop cross community relations, energy efficiency and sustainability of local community facilities, social, cultural or sporting benefit for the local community, educational issues with a sustainability angle, and environmental or economic benefit. The fund closes at 1:00pm on 5 November 2026, so there is a little under three weeks left from today. One practical point to check first is location. Your organisation must be based within 5 miles of the windfarm site entrance, measured in a straight line. Being near the wind farm is not enough on its own; the organisation itself must sit inside that radius. If you are just outside it, this fund is not open to you. The Community Foundation for Northern Ireland lists many wind farm funds side by side on its open grants page. Each has its own area, size and closing date, so make sure you are looking at the Long Mountain entry. If you have already started an application, the foundation asks you to keep using the link emailed to you when you registered.

Wakefield Culture Grants - Small

Wakefield Council

Up to £1,500Yorkshire and The Humber

Wakefield Council's Culture Grants Small programme gives up to £1,500 for small creative, cultural and heritage projects and activities. It is open to constituted community groups, charities, community interest companies (CICs) and other voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. Individuals and businesses cannot apply. The funder runs the programme in rounds. The next deadline is Monday 9 November 2026, which is Round 5. Earlier rounds have already closed. The page does not state a closing time, so aim to submit well before the day. All eligible applications go to a decision panel. Decisions are announced within 8 weeks of each deadline. After that there is a 2-week period for contracting and finance arrangements. This means it could be up to 10 weeks between applying and starting your project, so plan your timings with that in mind. You must apply using the application form for this grant strand, either the Word version or the e-form. The council does not accept extra documents or files alongside your form. If you need to apply by video or audio file because of access needs, you can email the team to discuss how to send it. If you are funded, you will need to complete an evaluation form at the end of your project. The council also asks you to fill in an anonymous equalities monitoring form. It is optional, but it helps the council understand and support its applicants. Official source: https://www.wakefield.gov.uk/culture-and-heritage/culture-grants/culture-grants-small.

The Deutsche Bank Opportunity Fund

Heart of England Community Foundation

£1,000 - £5,000West Midlands

The Deutsche Bank Opportunity Fund is run by Heart of England Community Foundation. It supports registered charities, and community and voluntary organisations working to reduce homelessness across Birmingham. Grants of between £1,000 and £5,000 are available. The fund backs work that tackles disadvantage, prevents or eases poverty by providing food, offers activities that improve quality of life, and supports local solutions to meet local needs. If you are a charity or community group working on homelessness in Birmingham, this fund could suit you. It is a good fit for small, practical projects rather than large-scale programmes. The application deadline is 11 November 2026. Any grant you receive must be spent within 12 months of receipt, so it helps to plan your project timeline before you apply. One practical point to keep in mind: the foundation says it may close the fund early if it receives a high volume of applications. That means it is wise not to leave your application until the last minute. Before you apply, the foundation asks you to read the Fund Factsheet and its Essential Information. These will help you check that your project fits and that you have everything you need ready. You can start your application through the apply now button on the fund page.

Leeds Building Society Foundation - Small Grants

Leeds Building Society Foundation

Up to £2,500National (UK-wide)

The Leeds Building Society Foundation Small Grants help UK charities that support people in need of a safe and secure home. The Foundation funds work in the housing and homelessness sector. You can apply for up to £2,500. The grants are flexible, so you can ask for core, project or capital costs. The average grant period is between six months and a year. The scheme suits UK-registered charities with a turnover of under £500,000. You can be based anywhere in the UK. Your application must meet at least one of the funding priorities: financial stress, security and refuge, or quality and suitability of housing. You can also apply under the theme of health and wellbeing support for people experiencing homelessness. This must be part of wraparound support, and your application must also meet at least one of the other priorities. The Foundation welcomes applications that take a Housing First and/or relationship-based approach. It would like to see evidence of strength-based practice, trauma-informed care and psychologically informed environments. The current application window opened on 8 September 2026 and closes on 11 November 2026. The Foundation's meeting for this window is on 4 December 2026. One practical point: the Foundation highly recommends reading its grant giving guide before you apply. The guide explains what is funded, who is eligible and how the process works.

Reading Small Grants Fund 2026/27

Reading Borough Council

Up to £7,500South East England

Reading Borough Council has set aside £150,000 for small grants to the voluntary and community sector in 2026/27. Grants of up to £7,500 are available to smaller local groups that want to help make Reading a more equal place to live. The fund can pay for one-off local events, running events, minor start-up costs to get a new idea off the ground, equipment and sessional costs. Your project should show how it builds the financial resilience of individuals or communities. It should also support the council's aims to tackle inequality and to be actively anti-racist. The fund suits charities, voluntary organisations, community groups, faith groups, sports groups, arts groups, cultural organisations, uniformed groups, schools and not-for-profit social enterprises based in Reading borough. Your annual income must be below £100,000. A share of the money is set aside for bids under £2,500, to support smaller local activities. If you only need £250 to £500, the council says you should apply for a micro grant instead. The deadline is 13 November 2026. The council says it will tell you whether you were successful before Christmas. One practical point to plan for: your project must meet an unmet need of Reading residents and must not already be available in your local area. You will also need to show it is not funded, or able to be funded, through other sources. You can only submit one bid per organisation, and you cannot ask for money to continue a project funded in a previous round. Funding must be spent within 12 months of the award. You will need to send an interim report after 6 months and a full report at the end of the project.

Supporting small grassroots organisations addressing domestic violence, poverty, racism, disadvantage and mental health / suicide prevention

Community Foundation Tyne & Wear and Northumberland

Up to £1,500North East England

The Jackie Haq Fund is run by Community Foundation Tyne & Wear and Northumberland. It supports small grassroots organisations that are tackling domestic violence, poverty, racism, disadvantage, and mental health and suicide prevention. You can ask for up to £1,500.

The funder also has a page for new applicants, so you can check that you and your activity meet its eligibility criteria. There is an FAQs page too, and a Help and Support page if you need extra support to apply. One practical point. The funder's page lists the maximum grant but gives no minimum, so plan your request around the £1,500 ceiling. If this fund does not quite fit your work, the foundation says you can make a general application at any time of year, as long as your organisation is in Tyne and Wear or Northumberland. This fund is a good place to start if you run a small community group supporting people facing abuse, hardship, discrimination or poor mental health in one of the areas above.
