Time running out for civic fund applications

Time is running out to submit applications to a community fund overseen by the University of Derby.

The university will be inviting applications to its annual, peer-reviewed Civic Community Fund until Friday 20 February.

The fund is open to anyone in Derby or Derbyshire who has a community project or creative business proposal that will directly benefit local communities.

As well as receiving seed funding from the university, up to eight successful applicants will be invited to work closely with researchers and experts to profile and share their work within the wider civic community.

They will also be invited to attend the Civic Awards, which will take place in the summer.

Successful applications will be able to demonstrate close alignment with the university’s Civic Agreement and its goals.
