Cornwall Council is now contacting eligible businesses across Cornwall to invite applications for the Omicron Hospitality and Leisure Grant. Some holiday businesses may not need the grant and with the support of Cornwall Council, we are appealing to the owners of holiday businesses in that position to donate some or all of their grant to the Cornwall Community Foundation Business Grants 2022 Appeal.
Assessing applications for grants is an important role, ensuring our donors' funds are invested effectively and helping community groups through the process of applying for funds. If you would like to help Cornish communities, can work flexibly, are IT competent and have a good eye for detail, this could be just the role for you.
A new programme to support communities creatively celebrating Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee is welcoming applications from 4 January. Cornwall Community Foundation is pleased to be working with UK Community Foundations and Arts Council England to distribute this exciting new fund.
