The National Lottery Community Fund has announced a new Community Power Fund aimed at empowering local communities across England. Prior to launching the programme, the NLCF will work with partners during a one-year development phase. Supported by up to £1.2 million in funding, this phase will shape how the fund runs in the future.
Between 10 and 15 community, voluntary, and public sector organisations will be supported in running new or existing initiatives to strengthen community power, particularly amongst excluded, marginalised, and underrepresented groups.
Organisations will receive grants ranging from £50,000 to £80,000 each to work together on evaluating effective strategies, identifying barriers, and determining the resources needed for sustainable community power-building efforts.
Expressions of interest open on the 8th January 2025
