Cambscuisine Community Fund

The Cambscuisine Community Fund offers grants to support local non-profit organisations that are undertaking charitable work with the aim of helping people that face disadvantages and to those that engage and support local people, and therefore build stronger, healthier, inclusive and sustainable communities. The key mantra of the fund is the notion of 'second chances' – helping those in need of a second chance in life. The fund has two rounds a year with an average of £30,000 awarded in each round last year. Grants will be predominantly made to assist charitable projects in Cambridge, but a wider geography may be considered for projects within a 5km radius of Cambscuisine locations. The fund aims to provide support and relief to those in need, with approximately 20% of the total fund used to support local environmental projects such as helping local charitable organisations or parish councils plant greenery and carry out other environmental projects. The average grant size is £4,000.
