Kent Community Foundation Learning Journey Fund
Grants available: up to £1,500
Deadline to apply: 30 June
Who is the funding for?
The grants will support up to ten applications from staff or volunteers from charities in Kent and Medway to discover new insights that will, in turn, work to improve the organisation they work for.
Applications should include a description of what the applicant hopes to gain through access to the grant, and how this will make a difference to the charity they work for.
Natalie Smith, director of grants and impact, Kent Community Foundation, said, “The Learning Journey is a new fund about ambition, sharing ideas, and having space to think and plan. We want applicants to consider which organisations are already doing a brilliant job of areas you want to improve? Who is leading on this nationally or internationally? What can you learn from them and how can you put your learning into practice? If you have the ambition to be bold to drive your charity or community group forward, we want to hear from you.”
