Apply For A Grant
We have over 85 different funds that you are able to apply to with one main application form for groups and separate application forms for individuals who are applying for a grant. We mix-and-match applications to the most appropriate fund behind the scenes, so you don’t need to worry about which fund is right for you. If in doubt, please telephone the office on 0191 383 0055 before you submit an application.
We give money to all districts in County Durham and Darlington: Chester-le-Street, Derwentside, Durham City, Easington, Sedgefield, Teesdale, Wear Valley and Darlington. We also distribute some grants to other areas of the country, click here for details of grants in other areas.
