KCOM Community Grant!

Kcoms’s community grants scheme gives funding of up to £1,000 to charities, community groups and schools that are working to make a positive difference to life in our region. Applications can be submitted at any time of the year, but grants are awarded on a quarterly basis. Our next panel meeting is taking place in September 2025.

What can the grant be used for?

The grant must be used to benefit people living in our region. It can be used for specific purchases like sports or IT equipment, or to help fund smaller projects like building repairs. Grants must be used within six months of being awarded.

Who can apply for a grant?

Anyone from a community in Hull, East Yorkshire or North Lincolnshire where KCOM services are available or being installed can apply for a grant.

Your application must be on behalf of a local community group, charity, voluntary group, club, school or other not-for-profit organisation, although you don’t need to work for them.

Who decides if your application is successful?

Our community grants panel is made up of KCOM employees who live and work in the region. They meet four times a year to consider every eligible application we’ve received during the previous three months. As an example, applications received in October, November and December will be looked at in January

What makes a successful grant?

Our community panel is looking for applications that will make a positive difference to members of the local community. As a guide, applications to fund things that have longevity, breakdown of costs and a far reaching impact are more likely to be successful than applications for one-off events or items that can only be used once. Applications for venue hire, rent, staff, travel costs or marketing materials will not be considered.

How do I apply for a grant?

Please complete the online application form and your application will be considered for the next round of grants. Due to the volume of applications we receive, we are only able to contact those who have been successful.
