Community groups, churches and chapels, voluntary and non-profit organisations that wish to improve and increase the range of facilities, activities and opportunities within Ceredigion are encouraged to apply to the Ceredigion Community Grant Fund.
Grants are available towards the purchase of land, buildings, equipment and the upgrading of existing facilities. There are two grants: a Capital Grant Fund and a Policy Grant Fund.

- Maximum capital grant available will be the lower of 50% of the project cost or the amount required to fund the project deficit, subject to a maximum of £10,000.
Policy Grant
- Open for applications all year, but applicants are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.
- Financed via the Welsh Church Fund (WCF).
- Examples include local Eisteddfodau and eligible Shows.
Councillor Gareth Davies, Ceredigion’s Cabinet member responsible for Finance & Procurement Services, said: “It is important for eligible groups and events to have financial support to ensure our communities continue to flourish. If your organisations fit the criteria, go for it and apply for the grant.”
