West Norfolk VCA in-house support
 

For those organisations who would prefer to talk through their funding requirements and be guided by a member of our team we can now offer you both GRANTfinder and Grant Advisor.  GRANTfinder is the internal face of GRANTnet, enabling us to walk you through more detailed searches and pull out further information on individual funds and national policies which affect the work you do. 

Grant Advisor, a new service which will help us to support you with individually tailored funding searches. These can be viewed in summary, intermediate or full detail with complete information on scheme eligibility, value, availability, contact details and supporting documentation. This entire search can then be saved as a word document and emailed directly to your inbox in seconds. 
 

Online Funding Databases  

GRANTnet
This is a free to use, online funding database available using the following link http://west-norfolk.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=24369

 

GRANTnet enables voluntary and community groups, sports and other clubs, schools, social enterprises and small businesses to search across a huge range of funding sources.

 

It is presented in the format of an online, step-by-step questionnaire that provides you with:

·       information on over 4,000 grants and other incentives, sourced from EC and Government sources, including Government departments, local authorities, charitable trusts and corporate sponsors;

·       a system which is regularly updated to ensure access to the very latest funding information;

·       an easily navigable database;

·       rapid identification of funding sources specific to your needs.

To assist local organisations in their search for funding, the Borough Council and the West Norfolk Partnership have subscribed to GRANTnet as part of the GRANTfinder service.

 

Funding Central
NCVO (National Council for Voluntary Organisations) and Office for the Third Sector (Cabinet Office) have worked together to produce this specific data base for the wider third sector, encompassing voluntary and community groups, registered charities, social enterprises and co-operatives. It is also free to use allowing you to search, identify and save grants, contracts and loans relevant to your projects and activities.  Dedicated guidance, tools and language for the voluntary sector make this web based tool very useful and user friendly for those organisations new to funding. At the same time it also offers more experience fundraisers the opportunity to identify the most suitable funding streams for their organisation using a more advanced search criteria.

 Borough Council Financial Assistance Scheme is now managed by Norfolk Community Foundation

Norfolk Community Foundation is a grant giving organization which makes awards to local groups and projects that are in real need of funding and that will make a lasting difference to the communities and people they serve.

They also provide a service to individuals, families, businesses and organisations who wish their charitable giving to have a lasting benefit in their local community and fund causes of special interest to them.
