Sapling Grants

Sapling Grants are designed to develop and strengthen community projects and emerging organisations, helping them grow, increase their impact, and create lasting local benefits in Milton Keynes. The programme supports constituted, not-for-profit organisations including unincorporated associations, registered charities, Charitable Incorporated Organisations (CIOs), sports clubs, and faith groups where the primary project activity is community-focused. Applications are encouraged 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 grant provides funding between £750 and £5,000 with a four-week decision timeframe. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis with deadlines on the last Friday of each month.
