Unsolicited applications are not accepted

This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. Don't spend time on an approach; the similar funders below support the same kind of work.

Key takeaways

Community Impact Funding is open only to community groups and residents' associations, so other kinds of organisation should not apply to it.
The charity says it does not accept unsolicited requests, but its guidance asks eligible applicants to complete the form or contact Coastline, so make contact first to check your group qualifies before sending anything.
The stated range for the programme is £50 to £500, and its annual report shows annual giving of £11,006, so a small, specific request for an event, activity or piece of equipment is the realistic fit.
Applicants are asked to show local community support, say who will benefit and explain how the project will have a lasting impact, so gather that evidence before you approach them.
The Charity Commission lists its area of operation as Cornwall, but no geographic focus is stated, so confirm with Coastline that your project's location is eligible.

Priority Areas

Coastline Housing offers Community Impact Funding for short-term community goals, such as a community gathering, and longer-term ambitions, including regular coffee mornings, fundraisers and activities. Community groups and residents’ associations are identified in connection with the programme. The application form asks applicants to describe the nature of the project (giving an event, activity or equipment as examples), who will benefit, the budget, local community support and how the project will have a lasting impact. It also asks whether applicants are Coastline customers and whether funding will benefit Coastline customers. A separate Crisis Support Fund can assist Coastline customers facing financial crisis or shock, or struggling with the cost of living.
