Fund available for local community projects

Crowdfunding harnesses the power of the community, along with the local Council to support projects within Barking and Dagenham. 

The Council has put aside up to £120,000 to match funding that is raised from other sources.  

Projects which get local people into employment, improve health and wellbeing, encourage civic pride, and build cohesion will be considered for matchfunding.

To access matchfunding you will need to complete a simple application process to show how your project meets our criteria. 

Projects can receive up to 50% (up to a maximum of £10,000) of their overall fundraising target.
