Community Grants
Stroud Funding is a new crowdfunding initiative from Stroud District Council and Spacehive, designed to help local groups across the district raise funds for community improvement projects.
Unlike traditional grant funding, this programme empowers communities to take control, fostering creativity and decision-making at the grassroots level. It's an opportunity to bring your community’s most valued ideas and activities to life, driving social change and prosperity throughout the Stroud district.

Community organisations can apply for up to £1000 from the SDC Small Grants fund.
The purpose of this fund is to support local voluntary sector organisations and community groups who are supporting the wellbeing of their communities. The panel meets four times a year and the next one is 11th October 2024.
Funding Limits
Organisations may apply for up to £1,000. The aim is to share the fund fairly across the whole district. If more funding is required, a more detailed conversation with the applicant will be held.
Who can apply?
- Community or voluntary groups
- Registered Charities
- Community Interest Companies
- Town and Parish Councils.
