#iwill Fund
Grants are available for community groups working in Northamptonshire for projects which engage young people in activities such as campaigning, fundraising and volunteering, and which help young people develop the skills and knowledge that employers look for.
The #iWill Fund is funded by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and the National Lottery Community Fund (NLCF), each of whom invested £33 million to transform the culture of community engagement by getting young people involved in greater volunteering opportunities.
The Northamptonshire Community Foundation, which is providing match funding to increase the amount available to organisations, is delivering the programme locally in Northamptonshire.
Funding is intended to offer enjoyable activities with a social purpose such as volunteering, campaigning and fundraising to young people which will build their own skillsets as well as strengthening local community capacity.
The deadline to apply is 1 December 2022.
