FAQs

How do I apply?
Applications can be submitted by completing the form above and emailing it to [email protected].
Can individuals apply for funding?
No. Funding is intended for community groups, charities, and not-for-profit organisations, rather than individuals.
Can I apply if I'm outside the designated area?
No. Projects must be located within the above areas to be eligible for support. If you are not sure on the above boundaries, please get in touch before preparing an application.
Is match funding required?
No. You do not need to have secured other funding to apply.
What types of projects can receive funding?
The Evero Community Fund supports initiatives that benefit local communities, including wildlife and biodiversity projects, public space improvements, equipment for local clubs, and community enterprise start-ups.
Can statutory bodies apply?
Our fund is primarily aimed at community-led, non-statutory organisations, but we may consider applications from parish councils or other statutory bodies where the project is clearly community-focused, sits outside their statutory responsibilities, and demonstrates additional benefit. We do not fund core statutory duties, services already covered by public funding, or ongoing running costs, and all applications are assessed on a case-by-case basis against the aims of the fund.
