Fund criteria
The fund will seek to support applications at the full level of funding requested.
Projects will be looked on more favourably if they can demonstrate one or more of the following:
- A sustainable approach to poverty reduction, which means building long-term capacity and resilience, whilst also relieving short-term need.
- Support for parents and children in need, including early years education.
- Support for particularly disadvantaged and under-served groups
- Tangible outcomes that would not be possible without this funding (e.g. the delivery of a one-off project which would otherwise not be affordable).
- Organisations working within 5km of Cambridge City, priority will be given to organisations based in Cambridgeshire
Capital costs will be considered.
