CAUSES SUPPORTED BY HIWCF GRANT FUNDS

HIWCF is committed to increasing the amount of charitable funding that is available, and accessible, to voluntary organisations and community groups active in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. The funds that we manage are only available to voluntary and community groups that are working locally.

If you would like to apply to HIWCF for a grant please take a look at the table below where you will find examples of what we can currently support.  You do not need to select the fund or the field of interest which fits your organisation or application, we will do that for you, you simply complete an Expression of Interest form or in the case of Grassroots an application form and we do the rest.

There are some things that we are unable to support from any fund such as:

  • Grants to Individuals
  • Statutory bodies
  • Activities which replace or support statutory services or where equipment will actually or in effect become the property of a statutory body.
  • Religious activities. We can however fund faith based groups to deliver community activities that are not used primarily to promote religious beliefs.
  • Political organisations or other groups delivering politically motivated activities.
  • Projects dealing with animals or plants.
