Levels of democratic participation vary significantly, with some groups and places less likely to feel informed, confident or able to take part in democratic processes. The Democratic Engagement Fund will provide grants to civil society organisations (CSOs) to deliver politically neutral, place‑based activities that help people understand, engage with, and participate in democracy.
The Fund focuses on groups that are currently less democratically engaged and aims to generate evidence on what works to increase democratic participation, informing future policy and practice.
MHCLG welcome applications from civil society organisations with experience of, or demonstrable capacity to deliver, community based, politically neutral projects in England, including:
A seven-day online match funding campaign working with charities dedicated to serving the women and girls in our communities.
Grants for capital projects are available to small and medium-sized charities registered in the UK working to assist homeless people to rebuild their lives and return to the community.
Donations of £50,000 for registered charities for projects that focus on: children and young people aged 14 to 25; employability; or areas of economic and social deprivation.
