Mick George Community Fund

The Mick George Community Fund provides grants of between £10,000 and £50,000, although it is unlikely that individual grants over £35,000 will be made.

Organisations can only apply for a grant if their total project cost is more than £10,000 and less than £100,000.

The Fund supports projects located in proximity to our donor’s (Mick George Ltd and recently acquired Frimstone Ltd) landfill sites and other waste treatment sites situated throughout the East Midlands and Anglian regions.

Your project must be located within the blue boundary line on the map below:

There are currently four funding rounds each year. However, after the 26 August closing date, this will reduce to two rounds per year. Therefore, there will be no November closing date as previously advertised.

The next closing dates are:

Important Notes

The Mick George Community Fund uses an online application process. Applications in other formats will not, therefore, be accepted.

If your group is not able to complete an online application form due to specific communication requirements, please contact GrantScape so that we can help you with alternative arrangements.

Applications received after a closing date will be automatically submitted to the next funding round, if available.
