Our General Fund supports charities and community groups in Buckinghamshire whose work benefits local people. We award grants of up to £10,000 to a broad range of causes and welcome applications from both new and established groups.

Made up of a number of private funds with different priorities, HoB General may be suitable if your project does not fit any of our other specific funds. Heart of Bucks always acts in good faith in working with our donors and carries out due diligence checks on the sources of funding we make available.

If however, your organisation has specific restrictions on the sources of funds it will accept, please do contact us to discuss further before making your application.

How to apply:

This fund is now closed.

To ensure you have the best possible chance of obtaining funding, we have a two stage process for our General Fund.

In the first “Expression of Interest” stage we will do all the necessary due diligence checks with you, and review your project to make sure we can match the type of work you want to carry out with one of the 50+ funds that run in the back of this programme.

If we think we can potentially find funding to match your project, we will send a more detailed full application form out to you to complete. In the second stage we will ask you for more details about the project, including a detailed project budget and how you expect to monitor the success of your work. We will also give you any hints and tips we think may help to enhance your application and give it the best chance of success.
