Grant funding on offer to Norfolk groups
 Two funding bodies are offering grant opportunities to community and Christian groups in Norfolk.
The Bishop of Norwich’s Community Fund, part of the Norfolk Community Foundation, will award grants of up around £300 to voluntary and community groups addressing real need within their local communities throughout Norfolk, with a preference given to those with a Christian foundation and ethos.
In March the Foundation is delivering the Local Giving Fund which will offer grants of up to £2,000 to voluntary and community groups working all over Norfolk.
The deadline for both is Friday February 2, 2007. A Grant Application Pack, incorporating policy, guidelines and notes on how to fill in the form, is available to download from the website; www.norfolkfoundation.com, as is further information on the funds available.
