Funding to Increase Participation in Democracy (Wales)

Charities, local authorities, and other not-for-profit organisations will soon be able to apply for a share of £300,000 in funding to encourage and support under-represented, newly enfranchised, and disabled people to participate in democracy.

The funding will be made available by the Welsh government through the Democratic Engagement Grant to ensure as many people as possible are engaged, motivated, and empowered to take part in the democratic process. The funding will support projects that either build on work that has already demonstrated impact, or those that have an innovative approach to overcoming identified barriers to participation from under-represented groups.

Partnerships and collaborations are welcomed.

The fund opens to applications on the 17th April 2023 and closes on the 5th May 2023.
