A new fund was launched by Essex County Council (ECC) on 1 April 2019 and will be administered by the Essex Association of Local Councils (EALC) over a two year period.

This new fund includes various community grant schemes that have been funded by Essex County Council.  This includes:

  • the existing CIF
  • Local Service Fund
  • Local Connections Fund
  • Cultural Development Grant

For the CIF, grants of up to £10,000 may be awarded for either a Capital or Revenue (not core costs) project.  One off grant awards will be made in October 2020.

Micro-grants of up to £500 are also available throughout the year and awarded once a month.

This fund excludes projects that deliver outside the administrative area of Essex County Council.

Please ensure to pass to Individuals, voluntary organisations and community groups.
