I can think of no better way, effortlessly and with confidence, to support local good causes than through Norfolk Community Foundation.

Norfolk Sports and Cultural Foundation Fund

Grants from the Norfolk Sports & Cultural Foundation Fund are available to individuals through two schemes:

Rising Stars

Grants of up to £5,000 are available to young people aged 14-25 in Norfolk who can demonstrate that they excel in a sporting or cultural discipline. Funding available through this scheme aims to support recipients to develop their talents and fulfil their potential. Applicants are nominated by an expert in their chosen field who stand as referee for the recipient.

Grants are delivered annually, the deadline for which is 30 September. Please click the links below for information on funding criteria and for a Nomination Form.

Make It Happen

Grants of up to £1,000 are available to individuals aged 14 upwards, to support Norfolk residents to realise their own personal sporting and cultural ambitions. Applicants complete an Application Form, which will need a supporting reference from an expert in the field.

Grants are delivered once a year. The deadline is 30 September. Please click the links below for information on funding criteria and for an Application Form.

The next deadline for applications to both programmes is 30 September 2010. Applications to this deadline will open in Spring 2010. Application packs are currently being updated and will be available here to download, or contact the Grants Team on 01603 623958 to request a copy. Please DO NOT use forms from previous application rounds as this may effect your eligibility. Late applications will not be accepted. You are advised to submit your application well in advance of the deadline.
