In response to feedback from their clients, Key Fund are pleased to announce that they will be shortly launching a new Flexible Finance Fund, for established community and social enterprises, to complement our existing blended funds.
This is a revolving facility, available up to £150,000 that can be drawn and repaid flexibly as needed, for an initial period of up to 5 years. Any balance at the end of five years then converts into a standard loan, repayable over three years.
It is intended to help you keep your cash flow smooth by covering (bridging) gaps plus also provides flexibility to maximise opportunities. This is part of a wider set of products, designed by Key Fund to help organisations deal with rising costs and inflationary pressures.
Grants of up to £750 are available from McCarthy Stone Foundation for small charities and community groups bringing together people over 65 at Christmas.
The Community Energy Fund (CEF) is a £10m grant scheme for urban and rural communities to develop energy services to benefit their local area.
Inspire Fund provides funding for projects that engage the public with the topic of dementia and the life-changing research going on into the condition.
