Grant News
The Equilibrium Foundation, which supports charities and community groups across North West England with a focus on creating lasting positive social impact in local communities, has announced that it is inviting applications through its Community Support Scheme.
The scheme provides grants of up to £500 to support projects that make a positive difference locally. It excludes applications from individuals, commercial ventures, political causes, and animal-related projects.
Any community or voluntary group operating in the region is eligible to apply, with the aim of supporting initiatives that directly benefit local people. Five organisations are selected in each funding round, with awards made every six months.
The next deadline for applications is 1 March 2026, with applicants notified within four weeks.
