Key takeaways

Hackney CVS gives its priority focus as Hackney and the City of London, so groups doing voluntary and community sector work there are the natural fit, though nothing stated says who may not apply.
Its grant range is not stated, and its annual report gives one total of £488,529 that may include grants to individuals, so you cannot work out a realistic request size from it and should ask the contact before you set a budget.
No application process is published, so the practical first step is to get in touch with the contact shown and ask how requests are handled.
Its work also runs through Hackney Giving, which passes funding from businesses, residents and the statutory sector to grassroots charities, so it may be worth asking whether that route suits your group.
Nothing published says how competitive its giving is or whether it is relationship-led, so do not assume either way.
