Portal to help you find funds

SupportCambridgeshire 4 Communities is a free self-service website which enables voluntary and community organisations to browse, search and apply for grants to support their work.

SupportCambridgeshire 4 Communities is not designed to replace individual or group support if its required. If you want more in depth support once you have visited the site  you can always contact one of our Development workers for more advice and guidance.

To help you find what you need we’ve setup some FAQs to help answer any queries.



Funding is one of the most important and most difficult areas for voluntary and community organisations to deal with. In order to help local groups and make information available to them, Cambridge CVS has a range of services linked to funding.
