Renew Community Fund

The Renew Community Fund is opening soon!

The award-winning Renew Community Fund (formerly known as the R4GM Community Fund) is a joint R4GM and Suez initiative, administered by the Greater Manchester Environment Fund.

The fund is opening for applications at noon on Tuesday, 22nd April 2025.

Grants of up to £10,000 and £20,000 are available for projects that get Greater Manchester residents fixing, mending, sharing, borrowing, donating and recycling household items.

Money raised by R4GM’s Renew shops goes towards the Community Fund. Every year, £220,000 is available for community and voluntary projects.

If you have an inspiring idea for a new project, we would love to hear from you!

Applications can be submitted here via our online portal from the 22nd April 2025.
