Funding

Please see below to find out if your group meets the criteria for low level funding. All applications will be considered from groups who are working to benefit the local community.

• Groups must be either a registered charity and/or a fully constituted community group holding a bank account in the name of that group; evidence of this should be made available if requested.
• The person making the application for funding must have a direct ongoing involvement with the group and be a member of The Midcounties Co-operative (applicants will be asked to provide details of this membership number at the first stage of the process)
• We do not support individuals, groups promoting or directly linked to a political party.
• We cannot support any organisation that is unlawful or involved in unlawful activities.
• We will not fund capital projects that are over £1000 in value.
• Applications from religious groups must demonstrate that their request for support benefits the wider community, be inclusive of all, not directly only supporting those of a specific faith, and demonstrate grant monies are not used in anyway to promote religious faiths or beliefs.

• You can only apply once every 12 months.
