Barnes Community Association
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Barnes Community Association is aimed at local community groups, charities and not-for-profit organisations whose activities take place in Barnes or Mortlake and benefit local people, and it does not fund organisations whose activities fall outside the local area or do not benefit local people.
- Preference goes to applicants who are current members of the association, so joining before applying may help.
- Its annual giving of £13,788, per the annual report, is modest, and no typical grant size is stated, so a small, clearly local request is the most realistic approach.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and the charity says it decides within 3 months, but trustees may ask for further information or meet the organisation before deciding, so allow time for that.
