Grants and Funding
We are pleased to be able to let you know that the Momentum grants programme will be continuing in 2022/23.
Momentum (Norfolk) is funded by Norfolk County Council to award small grants of up to £500 to voluntary clubs, groups & organisations working with young people aged 11-19 years in Norfolk.
We will prioritise applications from smaller organisations (with an income under £250k a year). You will also need to be part of the Voluntary Norfolk Network.
We have recently moved to a rolling programme rather than quarterly deadlines to enable groups to apply at any time during the year.
We understand that this year has been a really challenging time for the VCSE sector in Norfolk and so we will try to offer applicants as much flexibility as possible.
If you have any questions or concerns about applying for Momentum grants, please contact grants@momentumnorfolk.org.uk.
