The Community Fund is a grants scheme that helps local communities throughout the UK. Funds come from committed members of the Co-operative Group, donating part, or all, of their share of the profits. These members have already raised millions of pounds each year for all kinds of community projects.
Over the past 10 years the Group’s members have donated more than £8 million to the Co-operative Community Fund, allowing hundreds of local groups, projects, community groups, self-help organisations and charities nationwide to benefit.
Community Fund grants, between £100 and £2,000 are awarded to community, voluntary, or self-help groups, to run projects that meet the following criteria.
Groups and projects must:
• carry out positive work in the community
• address a community issue
• provide a good long-term benefit to the community
• support co-operative values and principles
• ideally be innovative in its approach
