The Imperial Community Impact Fund
It is an initiative designed to support local community groups and charities committed to making a positive difference.
With an annual fund of £10,000, this grant scheme offers between £500 to £1,000 per project to inspire and empower local organisations working in the areas of the environment, sustainability, creativity, and local problem solving.
We invite community groups and charitable organisations to apply for funding to bring their meaningful ideas to life. Our goal is to support initiatives that drive meaningful change, whether through environmental conservation, creative community participation, or solving pressing local challenges.
The fund is open for submissions twice a year, in January and July with the next round opening on Thursday 30 January 2025.
