The council has two Community Grant Schemes for 2025-26 which are open for local community and voluntary groups to apply for. Many groups in Erewash have benefitted from community grants provided by the council over previous years, including sports groups, arts groups, and lots of others.
Grant applications are invited from projects or activities which will support at least one of the council’s priorities which include:
- Supporting communities – to be active, healthy, and safe.
- Sustainable environment – create an environment for the future.
The council’s two community grant schemes are:
- Fast Funding Grants for awards of between £500 and £1,500.
- Member Grants for awards of between £2,000 and £3,500.
Subject to the availability of funding, both schemes will remain open until 28 February 2026.
