Local Giving Fund
The Local Giving Fund is a small grant (up to £300) aimed at providing items of play equipment to organisations based in rural Devon.
Purpose of fund and criteria
Devon Communities Together (DCT) is happy to announce the launch of the £2,200 Local Giving Fund. This grant is managed and distributed by DCT.
The aim of the grant scheme is to provide a very simple way for rural community groups to access small amounts of funding for play equipment to support children and/or young people.

The funding is open to any rural community group that meets regularly and provides social opportunities for children or young people in Devon. The following types of groups can apply (list is not exhaustive):
- Youth Clubs
- Brownies/Guides
- Beavers/Cubs/Scouts
Please note that only not-for-profit groups and organisations are eligible.
What will be funded?
The applicant must submit a clear proposal of why the fund is needed and what play equipment it will buy. We will prioritise projects that provide regular social opportunities for children and/or young people.
Funds can be used for a wide range of equipment. Some examples of things we will support are:
- Indoor play equipment
- Toys
- Outdoor play equipment
- Electronic devices
Some things that we would not support include:
- Running costs of the club
