We offer grants, typically between £1,000 and £5,000 to groups and individuals. Anyone looking for funding must submit an application form.
Your application will be processed by our grants team, who may contacted you for more information or clarification. It is then assessed and decided upon by a grants panel made up of our trustees, fundholders and people with professional or lived experience of local needs and services and activities supporting our communities.
Dorset Community Foundation is committed to transparency in our grant-making which is why we work with 360Giving to publish information about the grants at the end of each financial year. Explore 360 Giving
