West Midlands Combined Authority (The) Funding to Make Communities More Inclusive (West Midlands) – Deadline: 4 th January 2024
14 November 2023
As part of a legacy from the 2022 Commonwealth Games, the government is making £9 million in funding available to support not-for-profit organisations that are working to make communities across the West Midlands more inclusive. The Inclusive Communities Fund shares the four original core mission principles of the Commonwealth Games:
• Bringing people together,
• Improving health and wellbeing,
• Helping the region to grow,
• Putting the region on the map. The fund will award grants ranging from £500 to £300,000 to support local communities to come together through physical activity and sport, mental health and wellbeing activities, or arts, culture, and creativity projects. Organisations can apply for:
• Small Works and Refurbishment Grants (up to £100,000) will close on 4th January 2024,
• Large Grants (£75,000 to £300,000) will close on 4th January 2024,
• Small Grants (up to £15,000) will have varying closing dates throughout 2023 and 2024,
• Medium Grants (£15,000 to £75,000) will have varying closing dates throughout 2023 and 2024. The fund is delivered by the West Midlands Combined Authority, in partnership with the Heart of England Community Foundation, and United by 2022.
