Funds Held
   

 


Norfolk Community Foundation manages and distributes charitable funds for individuals and companies who want to support local voluntary and community activity.  In addition, donations of all sizes are pooled into an endowed fund to provide regular income to support local community activity. In this way, all donations can make a real and lasting difference to our communities.

The following details the funds currently held by Norfolk Community Foundation for distribution.  This will regularly increase as more funds are finalised for distribution.  When applying for funding from Norfolk Community Foundation, the Grants Manager will direct your application to the Fund with which it meets most criteria in order to improve the chances of success.

There are no deadlines.  Applications will be presented to the next available fund for which it is eligible.  Applicants are advised to submit applications by the middle of the month prior to the targeted grant delivery meeting to allow sufficient time for application assessment and distribution
