As you may be aware, Cumbria CVS offers free access to the Open 4 Community funding portal, which helps groups find grants for their projects.

If you’ve already signed up, you should have received a link to a short survey (from noreply@idoxopen4community.co.uk) asking if you have found the tool useful. If you haven’t seen the email, please check your junk folder.

We want to keep this service going, so your feedback would be really helpful!

If you haven’t heard of or used the funding portal yet, here’s the link to check it out. Registration is free and quick.

We also offer a personalised 1-2-1 service where we chat with you about your needs and provide a funding report.

Did you know we can review your funding applications too? If you want some guidance before you submit, just let us know.

Plus, we have training sessions on writing compelling funding applications using the Design for Wiser Action template. Our next session is on September 15th, right before the South Lakes Funding Fair. More info coming soon!

If you need support with your funding challenges, feel free to reach out to one of our Development Officers at info@cumbriacvs.org.uk – We looking forward to hearing from you!
