Devon County Council has launched a new set of Community Grants which aim:

• To help local people connect with each other and their wider community.
• To shift more control of local decisions to communities.
• To challenge inequality where it exists for people and communities.
• To do things differently in communities.

Each year the council will highlight a key local priority, around which bids will be particularly welcome.

This year bids to understand and address loneliness and isolation across generations and communities in Devon will be prioritised (2019-2020).

• The Doing What Matters Grants Fund has a total revenue grant fund for 2019-20 of £300k.
• Maximum grant award: £20,000 per non-repeatable project applications.
• Minimum grant award: £5,000.
• Intervention rate: 75%, therefore, match-funding required minimum 25% of project costs.

Please get in touch if you would like more information.
