Community action funding

What funding is there to support community action?

Devon County Council (DCC) has launched the COVID-19 Prompt Action Fund to help provide valuable funding to organisations working in their local communities during this outbreak.

Through the COVID-19 Action Fund, DCC will rapidly provide small amounts of grant funding to community-led schemes.

These can include:

• Safe deliveries of essential goods and services to those who are vulnerable, such as foods and medicines
• Support for accessing online information and services
• Virtual support groups to help people to stay connected and informed and to maintain and support mental health and wellbeing
• Transport-related initiatives that support safe community responses to the outbreak

There are two separate grants available through the Fund; one of less than £500 and one of between £500 and £5,000.

How can I apply for funding from the Prompt Action Fund?
