Oak Grants

Oak Grants are designed to support well-established organisations to scale up proven approaches, embed lasting change, and tackle systemic disadvantage in Milton Keynes. The grants can support a range of projects and activities, with particular encouragement for applications that respond to issues raised in the annual Vital Signs MK report, address local needs, work in partnership, and aim to strengthen the voluntary sector. The programme provides funding up to £15,000 for constituted, not-for-profit organisations supporting beneficiaries from Milton Keynes, including unincorporated associations, registered charities, Charitable Incorporated Organisations (CIOs), sports clubs, and faith groups where the primary project activity is community-focused. Applications are accepted quarterly with a 10-week decision timeframe.
