Funding Network
We are excited to announce the launch of the Funding Network, an initiative by the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for Hampshire and Isle of Wight. This network aims to streamline the grant application process for PCC funding opportunities, build local capacity amongst our partners and enhance collaboration among current and potential grant recipients.
Why Join the Funding Network?
By joining the Funding Network, your organisation will benefit from:
- Make grant applications by pre-qualification for Funding Opportunities: Complete due diligence checks in advance of grants rounds, allowing you to apply for grants opportunities when they are launched. Due diligence and organisational information will only need to be submitted once, regardless of the number of applications you are submitting.
- Capacity Building: Access support in relation to the application process and required criteria, networking with other providers and workshops to support partners to be prepared for future opportunities.
- Regular Updates: Receive information on upcoming funding opportunities, training sessions, and information events.
- Improved Processes: Provide feedback to help us enhance our grant-making processes.
Joining the network does not guarantee funding but ensures your organisation is well-prepared for future opportunities. You must apply to and be accepted into the Funding Network before applying for any grant funding opportunities.
How to Join?
To join the Funding Network, there is an application process which also involves due diligence checks. If your initial application is not accepted, the OPCC will work with you to provide feedback and guidance on areas that need attention to support you to overcome any challenges in preparation for you to re-submit the application. Once your application is approved, your details will be checked annually to ensure continued compliance. You will be required to re-confirm your information each year and notify us of any changes. When the Funding Network is live the details will be on our website and the link will be circulated.
To be part of the Funding Network you will also be required to sign up to the Police and Crime Commissioner’s Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct outlines the ethical and professional behaviour expected from grant recipients. It ensures that funded activities represent good value and support the priorities within the Police and Crime Plan.
We will be hosting virtual workshops to provide detailed information about the network, explain the application process, and outline the support you can expect:
- Wednesday 5 February – 13:00 to 13:30
- Thursday 6 February – 14:00 to 14:30
