October Fund

The October Fund offers grants from £1,000 up to £10,000 for projects delivering sporting, social, educational or other community activities in Waterbeach and Landbeach. Grants can be awarded towards running costs and small capital items. The fund is administered by Cambridgeshire Community Foundation and supports non-profit organisations working in these specific Cambridgeshire communities. Last year this fund awarded £11,478 across 4 funding round deadlines. Examples of funded projects include community warden schemes for older people, youth outreach programs, bicycle parking infrastructure for churches, and local arts and cultural events. The fund operates on a quarterly basis with four annual deadlines throughout the year.
