Community fund

The Miller Homes Community Fund gives you the chance to apply for a donation towards improving your community.

Donations from the fund can be used in a variety of ways to meet the needs and aspirations of people in the area where you live.

 

Groups can apply for a donation ranging between a minimum of £250 up to a maximum of £2,000 to help enhance the lives of individuals and the areas in which they live.

 

Our fund will focus on causes that:

  • are linked to education
  • promote wellbeing
  • promote the environment
  • encourage participation in sport

 

 

We have a team of employee volunteers known as Community Ambassadors who are local to your area, they will review applications and make awards twice a year.

However, please note that we are unable to approve all applications. Before completing your application ensure you have read the terms and conditions, which can be found [here]

The Community Fund is open for applications from Monday 16 September 2024 until Monday 28 October 2024.

Important Update
 
Due to a technical issue, applications submitted before Friday 20 September may not have been received by our team. If you submitted your application before this date, we would encourage you to submit again to make sure your application is considered for this round of funding.
