APPLICATION DEADLINE EXTENDED!
Introducing the New Middleton Community Fund! 📣
For over a decade, our annual Dragon's Den initiative has helped us support amazing local causes. Now, to better serve our evolving community, we're replacing it with a more flexible, year-round grant program: the Middleton Community Fund!
If you're a charity, individual, or local group with a great idea to benefit the people of Middleton, we want to hear from you!
We're inviting funding applications right now.
What you need to know:
💰 Grants are available from the funds raised locally through traditions like our Christmas Float and collections at Middleton Shopping Centre, etc.
📍 Only projects that benefit the Middleton community are eligible.
📝 Funding must be for item-specific needs; we won't fund routine running costs, entry fees, subscriptions, or rentals.
💡 Grants will typically be up to £500. While we may consider funding over £500 in exceptional cases, please note this will be a rarity.
🤝 Successful outcomes are not guaranteed; all applications are reviewed, and awards are agreed by Rotary Middleton and depend on eligibility and funding availability.
📸 Publicity is required. If you're successful, you'll agree to Rotary Middleton sharing your story, photos, and videos (with appropriate permissions, of course!).
Let's grow our impact together! We're also keen to partner with local businesses and organisations who might be interested in match-funding specific projects!
Don't let a great idea stay on the drawing board. Apply today and help us bring fresh, innovative projects to life in Middleton!
