Grant News

Charities, community and voluntary organisations, CICs, and social enterprises will be able to apply for funding for activities that use the benefits of the natural world to improve the lives of Dorset residents.

Grants of up to £1,000 will be available to small, local groups, particularly those wanting to try out a new idea, for activities that improve health & wellbeing, reduce isolation, enhance community cohesion, or address a particular local issue. The funding can be used to cover activity costs, volunteer costs, core costs or overheads, and small items of equipment or perishables (e.g. a laptop, tools or refreshments).

The funding will be available through the Dorset Community Foundation’s Nature Heals Seed Fund.  The closing date for applications is midday on the 11th November 2022.
