Council Community Grant Funding – could you be eligible?

Or do you know an organisation that might be?

Mid Sussex District Council’s next round of applications for grant funding opens opens on 17th March. It’s open to community groups, charities and not-for-profit organisations who can apply for grants of up to £5,000 to support projects that benefit Mid Sussex residents.

Mid Sussex District Council is celebrating a decade of community grant funding for local projects. Since 2015, the Council has awarded £887,910 to projects across Mid Sussex.

By supporting community projects, MSDC says it is committed to building thriving, healthy and sustainable neighbourhoods where residents directly benefit. Working closely with local organisations and community groups, it ensures grant funding reaches projects that matter most to residents.

You can apply if:

• Your project will directly benefit residents of Mid Sussex
• You are properly formed with a governing document and a bank account
• Your organisation’s services are open to all, with an equal opportunities policy
• Your project meets at least one of the Council’s priority areas.

The community grants programme runs across three funding windows this year. Applications for the next round open on 17th March and close on 18th May 2026, with decisions expected at the May Cabinet meeting.  For further details, visit Community Grants – Mid Sussex District Council
