Community groups and not-for-profit organisations across Hampshire will soon be able to apply for funding through the Hampshire County Councillors Grants Scheme.
Hampshire County Council has confirmed that the scheme will reopen on Wednesday 1 July 2026.
The scheme gives each county councillor a budget of £5,000 to support local organisations, projects and initiatives in their area.
Applications can be made for grants of between £100 and £1,000.
The funding is open to a wide range of not-for-profit organisations and community groups, including sports clubs, youth groups and local projects that support residents.
Previous Hampshire County Councillor Grants Schemes have supported projects including arts performances, social support groups, outdoor projects and defibrillator installations.
Councillor Nick Adams-King, Leader of Hampshire County Council, said:
“The Members Grants Scheme plays an important role in supporting the fantastic work of community groups across Hampshire.
“By giving each councillor the ability to allocate funding in their communities, we can respond directly to the needs and priorities of Hampshire residents on a very local level.
“We know the impact these grants have in helping to strengthen communities, support wellbeing and bring people together, and we look forward to receiving applications.”
Applications can be submitted online once the scheme opens.
Full guidance, eligibility criteria and the application form will be available through Hampshire County Council.
