People and communities Funding available for voluntary and community groups

Voluntary and community sector groups are able to apply for a range of grants from Manchester City Council. Some are small, one-off grants that support a community event or project, other grants are longer term and support a community service or facility.

There are two different types of funding available:

  • Neighbourhood Investment Fund: available to communities to make their neighbourhoods better places to live. Open for ongoing applications.
  • Community Events Funding: available to registered groups as development funding, to support community based, not-for-profit celebrations that can demonstrate citywide impacts and benefits. Open for applications.

Grants are available from many other local, regional and national funders. Check out Macc's funding pages to see what else is available.
