Launched in 2024, the Imperial Community Impact Fund is a new initiative from Imperial Polythene. It is designed to support local community groups and charities committed to making a positive difference, with a focus on environment, sustainability, creativity, and addressing local problems.

There is an annual fund of £10,000, from which the grant scheme offers up to £1,000 per project to encourage and empower local organisations working in the above areas.

The fund aims to foster innovation and collaboration, enhance wellbeing and promote sustainable development.

Charities, Charitable Incorporated Organisations and Community Interest Companies are invited to apply to bring impactful projects to life.

The fund’s goal is to support initiatives that drive meaningful change, whether it’s through environmental conservation, creative community engagement, or solving pressing local issues.

There are two application windows a year, in January and July.

Application is by an online Google Form.

The next round opens on 30 January 2025 and will close 20 March 2025.

Decisions will be made by 22 April 2025 and grants must be spent within six months of their award.
