Get up to £2,500 from your local councillor's community fund
Using the power of the crowd, we’re making Norfolk a better place by helping projects that connect people, celebrate our culture, and improve our quality of life. Each of Norfolk’s 84 County Councillors has £5,000 to award to voluntary and community groups in their area.
You can apply for a grant of £200 to £2,500 to help fund your project.
Approach your local councillor and explain the project. If the councillor would like to support your project they will provide you with a letter of support.
Start a new project on Crowdfunder, tell us the basics and a rough outline of your story.
Submit an application to the fund using your Crowdfunder dashboard.
The Norfolk Community Fund is here to support small, local projects that make a real difference in Norfolk communities.

You can apply for a grant of £200 to £2,500 to help fund your project.
1. Talk to your local councillor about your project idea.
2. If they support it, they’ll give you a letter of support.
3. Set up your Crowdfunder and submit your application.
4. Norfolk County Council will check your application and, if approved, add the Norfolk Community Fund Pledge.
5. You’ll then start crowdfunding to raise your match funding (if needed).
6. Once you hit your full target, you’ll receive the money and can start your project.
7. After your project is finished, we’ll ask you to fill in a short feedback questionnaire about how it went and what impact it had.
Match funding means that if you’re applying for a grant, you’ll need to raise some money yourself to go alongside the grant you’re asking for.
