About the Wandsworth Grant Fund
On this page
The Wandsworth Grant Fund aims to provide grants for ‘not-for-profit’ projects and activities benefitting residents and communities of the London Borough of Wandsworth.
Aim of the fund
The funding available through the Wandsworth Grant Fund is invested in community-led projects and services that help achieve the following key objectives:
- A fairer Wandsworth
- A compassionate Wandsworth
- A more sustainable Wandsworth
The Wandsworth Grant Fund (WGF) expresses these through 6 key thematic priorities:
- Raising aspiration and potential
- Environment and attractive neighbourhoods
- Children and young people
- Citizenship and civic engagement
- Health and wellbeing
- Arts and culture
From 1 November 2024, arts and culture will no longer be a theme of the Wandsworth Grant Fund, however creative projects that overlap with the five other themes are still welcome to apply to the Wandsworth Grant Fund.
Eligibility
We will only fund organisations that have a signed governing document in place appropriate to the legal structure which includes for Community Interest Companies (CIC’s) an asset lock (or equivalent), and the purpose of all funded activities must be charitable (not for profit).
Services or activities must benefit the residents of Wandsworth and must mainly take place in the borough.
See the guidance notes for the full eligibility criteria.
