Business and community grants
There are a range of grants and funding opportunities Newham residents can apply for to get community projects and initiatives off the ground. Or if you’re a registered Community Interest Company CIC/charity you can get help with the running of existing projects in Newham. Please review our Funding for community projects page. This outlines some of the projects funded at local level but also allows you to sign up for Newham 4 Community which is a website where you can search for funding that’s a right fit for your organisation.
