Community Foundation for Surrey gives locally and strategically, focusing on improving life across Surrey through a mix of responsive small grants and more targeted programs. It especially backs young people, mental health, carers, disabled people, and community groups addressing urgent local needs, with a strong emphasis on organizations that are rooted in Surrey and can show practical impact. The foundation also supports capacity-building and longer-term organizational change, but most grants appear to be modest in size and tied to specific programs or funds.
Primarily local, program-specific grantmaking with a mix of rolling small grants, emergency support, and periodic application rounds. Main Grants typically average around £6,000–£7,000, with smaller requests often more competitive; some funds are invitation-only or accept no unsolicited proposals, while others operate on a rolling or case-by-case basis.

Check the specific fund page carefully, since eligibility, timing, and access vary by program. For Main Grants and Strategic Transformation, start with an Expression of Interest and watch the published deadlines; several funds are rolling or case-by-case, and some do not accept unsolicited proposals. Keep requests modest and tightly aligned to Surrey-local need, especially for grants under about £7,000.
