The Alan Edward Higgs Charity has been making grants to charities across the West Midlands since 1979. It has now partnered with the Heart of England Community Foundation to share expertise in making grants to small organisations.

The Alan Higgs Community Grants are in addition to the Higgs Charity’s normal grant making programme. www.higgscharity.org.uk

There are grants of up to £1,000 aimed at small grassroots community-based organisations. The fund aims to support people in Coventry and Warwickshire. Applications must meet one of the following aims:

• Relieve poverty
• Promote economic and community development, and employment
• General charitable purposes.

Priority will be given to those organisations whose focus is supporting children and young people.

Please read the Fund Factsheet and our Essential Information before applying.
