The Making it Happen Fund is a small grants fund set up by the Teignbridge Strategic Partnership (TSP). The fund is designed to help local community and voluntary groups provide a wide range of community projects and activities.

The fund offers 2 types of grant:

2. Grants of up to £1000 for projects whose total cost is £5,000-£10,000.

Councillor Alan Connett, Chair of the Teignbridge Strategic Partnership explained: 'The TSP wanted to create an easily accessible fund to stimulate projects and activity in local communities across the Teignbridge District. Making it happen grant fund definitely does this, and we look forward to receiving your bids'.
