Newcastle Fund

Newcastle City Council

Description

Newcastle City Council's core grant programme for not-for-profit organisations — voluntary/community groups, registered charities, and social enterprises — delivering projects that build community connection and improve health and wellbeing. Funds both specific projects and core running costs. Confirmed in an August 2026 re-check that Round 17 had a deadline of 10am, 23 July 2026, which has now passed with no next round yet advertised on the council's own page — the fund appears to be between rounds; re-verify the current round and deadline before applying.

Amount

Up to £25,000 per application (a recent round's total pot was cited at roughly £500,000)

Deadline

Rolling / no fixed deadline

This one is usually simple enough to do yourself using the free official link below — but if you'd rather have help, we're building relationships with vetted professionals and can let you know if that becomes available.

Some of the organisations we may connect you with pay us a referral fee if you use their service. This never affects which listings you see in the directory. No live partner is confirmed yet for this listing.
