Oxfordshire Community Foundation Step Change Fund

About this grant

Capacity-building grants of £10,000 to £50,000 for established Oxfordshire charities to make a 'step change' in capacity, cost-effectiveness or sustainability, with each grant supported by a volunteer project manager. Projects need a clear forward strategy bringing substantial benefit to disadvantaged people in Oxfordshire; core costs for existing services alone are not funded. The next closing date for expressions of interest is midday on Friday 30 October 2026 (panel on 25 November 2026), followed by a detailed bid stage for invited applicants.
