Funding

Hastings Voluntary Action can help groups to improve the effectiveness of their fundraising, with a particular focus on grassroots groups that are less able to help themselves.

The Funding Advice Service includes:

  • Reviewing funding applications and offering feedback
  • Training about funding and fundraising issues
  • Publicising funding sources in the HVA ebulletins, on social media, and elsewhere
  • HVA's Small Grants Guide (the latest version is here)
  • Providing specific funding information and advice for organisations
  • Loaning fundraising books and guides

You may also find the support from East Sussex County Council's External Funding Team useful, including:
Funding News every month - listing many sources of funding, and funding successes
East Sussex 4 Community - an online funding search tool for East Sussex

We provide support to charities, community groups and social enterprises in Hastings. Please use the resources on this page first. If you need further help with funding for your voluntary organisation, you can fill in this online form.

In addition, organisations in Rother can get funding advice from Rother Voluntary Action and organisations in Eastbourne or Wealden can get funding advice from 3VA, and organisations in Lewes district can get funding advice from SCDA.
