Aims/priorities: Supports projects that make communities fairer for everyone. Co-op members have raised over £85m for nearly 30,000 local projects since we started the fund in 2016.

You can apply if your project:

  • Brings people together to access food
  • Helps improve people’s mental wellbeing
  • Creates opportunities for young people to be heard and make a difference
  • Enable people to save and restore nature or tackle climate change 

We’ll also continue to seek applications from diverse groups that help bring our Co-op vision to life and make things fairer for our members and communities.   

Your project must also:

  • Not have religious or political aims (although you can still apply if you’re a religious organisation)
  • Take place or will still be running after November 2023

Who can apply? You must be a not for profit group and deliver a project to benefit your local community. Find out more about who can apply for the fund and what projects we cannot support

Grant amount: In most areas, this is between £1,000 and £3,000 on average. You’ll get a minimum of £1,000 to support your project.
