Community Power Fund

The Community Power Fund from The National Lottery Community Fund will open for applications on 25 November 2026, offering substantial, long-term funding for organisations that are helping local people influence decisions and create positive change in their communities.

Grants of between £500,000 and £2.5 million are available for projects lasting five to ten years. The fund is aimed at organisations with a proven track record of building community power, developing local leadership, shaping services alongside residents, and increasing community influence over local investment and assets.

Organisations must already be working at scale across a town, city, district or borough, with experience of collaboration and strong connections to the communities they serve.

A free webinar for potential applicants will take place on 18 November. You can sign up for the webinar, or watch the replay here: Join or watch a webinar | The National Lottery Community Fund
