Levels of democratic participation vary significantly, with some groups and places less likely to feel informed, confident or able to take part in democratic processes. The Democratic Engagement Fund will provide grants to civil society organisations (CSOs) to deliver politically neutral, place‑based activities that help people understand, engage with, and participate in democracy.
The Fund focuses on groups that are currently less democratically engaged and aims to generate evidence on what works to increase democratic participation, informing future policy and practice.
Grant amount
Most projects will receive around £25,000. The maximum award is £50,000 per project.
