Rother District Council Community Grants Scheme.

The Rother District Council Community Grants Scheme supports grassroots projects that strengthen communities in Rother, promote a thriving local economy, improve wellbeing, and protect the environment. Grants are managed by Sussex Community Foundation on behalf of Rother District Council.

Guidance on applying.

The funding criteria is based on three of the four Sussex Community Foundation funding priorities: Improving Health, Reaching Potential, and Acting on Climate.

Funding will be split between revenue and capital grants:

  • Revenue Grants – up to £10,000 to support day-to-day costs, staff, equipment, and project delivery for up to 12 months.
  • Capital Grants – up to £20,000 for building works, major equipment, or refurbishment.

Please make sure to read the guidance and criteria carefully. If you are planning to apply for a capital grant of over £10,000, we recommend arranging a phone call with our Grants & Relationships Manager, Pete Jones, before making an application.
