Up to £2.5 million is available to strengthen civil society infrastructure in England. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has launched the Civil Society Resilience Infrastructure Fund—an up to £2.5 million package of funding to support the organisations, networks and systems that help communities respond and recover when emergencies happen.
This funding is aimed at the infrastructure that underpins effective emergency response and recovery—coordination, networks, capability-building and ways of working that help communities be better prepared.
DCMS intends to award the grant to a single recipient—either one organisation or a consortium led by a lead partner. The successful applicant will deliver the programme from October 2026 to March 2029, with funding available for activity in England.
