Northamptonshire Community Foundation makes grant giving simple and easy for you. The Grants Team would love to talk to you about your project idea and we can match you to the fund that makes the best sense. In most cases if you apply for £2000 your application will go to our monthly small grants panel. Applications for more will go to our quarterly community grants panel. We also manage High Sheriff's Initiative Fund and WNDC Stronger Communities fund. Click on our  application and guidance links to the right which will provide you with more details.

 

For further information on our grant making contact Grants Director Rachel McGrath on 01604 230033 or email: rachel@ncf.uk.com

If you are a new group just starting out here are some example documents you may find useful:

 

Example Constitution

 

Brief constitution guide:

• Even if you are part of a national network or a branch of a national organisation we will require you to be an independently locally constituted group.
• Your constitution must have a dissolution clause that states in the case of your group winding up or dissolving a commitment to allocating any remaining funds to a group with similar aims and objectives based in Northamptonshire
• If you are in doubt please refer to the simple example constitution above and use this as a template
