Who we fund
Our focus is to support smaller, grassroots organisations across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. Generally, we make grants of between £250 and £5,000. HIWCF’s grant making priorities are underpinned by the need to tackle poverty and inequality and to support work that is important to local communities.
Before applying, please make use of the FAQs and video guidance on this page to ensure you understand whether your project or community group fits our criteria.
