Community Innovation Fund

Up to £5,000 available to support community projects in Hertfordshire

The Hertfordshire Community Innovation Fund is paused until further notice

Hertfordshire County Council and Crowdfunder have teamed up to support projects primarily benefitting adults (age 18+) to make communities in Hertfordshire stronger, more connected, capable, active, safer, fairer and inclusive.

If you are a new business startup or an existing SME looking to grow, and you have the support of the people of Portsmouth to back your business development idea, then you may be eligible for our Small Business Grant Scheme. See below for details.
