Community Spirit Small Grants Fund

The K+C Foundation is an independent charity working towards a vision of a borough where everyone can live happy, healthy and fulfilled lives. We identify and support impactful local projects that improve the lives and life chances of some of the most vulnerable members of our community.

The Community Spirit Small Grants Fund supports events and activities that bring joy, hope and healing to our community. The majority of the beneficiaries of your project must be residents of Kensington + Chelsea.

The funding is for one-off events and short-term projects (no more than 6 consecutive weeks and separate from your ongoing, longer-term work) such as cultural and celebration events, school holiday activities, workshops and sports tournaments. Activities can take place both in person and online, and you may include equipment costs in your budget. 

The K+C Foundation is particularly interested in applications for projects in the south of the borough. They also particularly welcome applications from grassroots organisations working with minoritised or excluded communities.

Who can apply?

  • Voluntary and community groups
  • Faith groups
  • Residents’ associations
  • CICs limited by guarantee.

If your group is not constituted i.e. does not have its own bank account, you must find a local constituted organisation which is willing to vouch for you and hold funds on your behalf.

There is no deadline; applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. You are asked to apply at least 6 weeks before a project is due to start.

You can apply more than once in a 12-month period, but priority may be given to organisations who have not previously had a grant.
