Criteria
We fund projects that build the capacity of communities to create long term strategies for change. We look to fund whole start-up projects – EastWeb is unlikely to fund parts of larger projects or projects that have been run previously. EastWeb can also help source in-kind support for your project, including volunteers to support your project, assistance with grant-writing or businesses willing to donate their products or services.
Applications will be assessed against one another as a competitive process, in light of EastWeb’s limited financial capacity to grant, and the board will select up to (but no more than) two successful applications per granting round. Promising applications which are not selected as successful in any given granting round will be encouraged to resubmit in the next round.
If you want assistance making an application, please contact us and we can complete the application form with you.
