Funding Opportunities
Rotary Club of Brighton Grants
The Rotary Club of Brighton offers grants to support charitable causes in Brighton and Hove and surrounding areas, as well as internationally. The club serves the community by offering financial support and/or skills and experience to registered charities and, in exceptional circumstances, to individuals. Donations are made on a discretionary basis with no specific limits on what applicants can request funding for. Applicants are encouraged to contact the club to discuss their needs, and may be invited to attend a club lunch on Wednesdays to present their organisation and discuss funding requirements. The club typically distributes around £4,000 in total to local causes per year, with most grants ranging from £100 to £250.
Patcham Community Fund
The Patcham Community Fund provides grants to groups and organisations working to improve the quality of life for residents in the Patcham area, including Hollingbury and Withdean. The fund assists groups or organisations which are trying to help themselves and improve the community in some way. Grants are available for specific project costs or purchases with a focus on providing long-term benefit to the community. Groups need to raise some of the total cost of the project or purchase themselves. Recent grants have supported a diverse range of community initiatives including sports equipment, community centre improvements, school resources, and community activities such as art classes and choir uniforms.
National Lottery Reaching Communities England
National Lottery Reaching Communities England provides grants of £20,000 or more for community organisations, charities and not-for-profit companies serving communities in England. The program supports places, people or communities experiencing poverty, disadvantage or discrimination, and helps people and communities shape decisions that affect their lives. Projects must achieve one of four key missions: helping communities come together through inclusive places and activities, supporting children and young people to thrive by developing positive social and emotional skills, helping communities be healthier by addressing health inequalities and preventing poor health, or promoting environmental sustainability through climate engagement and improving access to natural spaces. Projects can run for up to 5 years and must be led by the communities they serve, with strong community involvement in design, development and delivery. Funding can cover activity costs, organisational development, core running costs, and purchasing or refurbishing buildings.
Morrisons Foundation
The Morrisons Foundation provides grants to small registered charities for projects that improve people's lives. The foundation supports projects that align with at least one of their three core funding objectives: tackling poverty and social deprivation, enhancing community spaces, facilities and services, and improving health and wellbeing. Grants are available up to £10,000 for registered charities with an annual income of less than £1 million. The foundation has a rolling application process with no specific deadlines, making it accessible to organizations throughout the year. However, it should be noted that the foundation does not fund salaries or other running costs, focusing instead on specific project activities and outcomes.
Lions Clubs Grants
Lions Clubs support charitable causes in their local area through grant funding. There are two local Lions Clubs serving the Brighton and Hove region: Brighton Lions and Rottingdean and Saltdean Lions. These clubs provide donations to local community groups and charities with no set limits, though grants generally range from £50 to £1,000. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis with no deadlines. Applicants are encouraged to contact the club before making a formal application to discuss their group's needs and determine whether the request aligns with what the club would consider funding.

Chalk Cliff Trust
The Chalk Cliff Trust provides grants to charities, action groups and benevolent organisations in East Sussex, including Brighton & Hove. The fund has a very wide remit and will fund all kinds of charitable and benevolent activity. Grants don't need to be specifically tied to funding projects - they are happy for the money to be used as seed capital, to help with core administration costs, or to help an organisation through a difficult time. They will respond quickly to requests and can make funds available shortly after application. Donations will normally be made to registered charities, however organisations pending registration or pressure groups will also be considered. Donations are usually made once per organisation but repeat donations may be considered in certain circumstances.

The programme provides donations or discounted building materials and tools to eligible organizations.
