The Cambridge Forum for the Construction Industry (CFCI) offers grants to support activities that promote excellence, collaboration, education and opportunity within the construction and built environment community.
What We Fund
Grants may be awarded to individuals or organisations for activities including events, training, research, conferences and other projects that advance CFCI’s aims and objectives.
Applicants can be at any age or stage of study or professional development. Applications are welcomed from schools, colleges, individuals and professionals.
Funding may support one-off activities or an ongoing programme.
Applications should have particular, but not exclusive, relevance to Cambridge. Activities taking place outside the city may also be considered where the work can subsequently be shared with CFCI, for example through its programme of talks.
Types of grant
CFCI offers three types of grant:
Type 1
A one-off payment of less than £500.
Type 2
A one-off payment of more than £500.
Type 3: Partnership Grant
A three-year partnership grant, with scope to seek an extension after two years. The annual sum is more than £500, with a maximum total grant of £5,000 over five years.
Each application, or application for an extension, will be considered on its own merits.
