Welcome to the InclusiFund Community
What this space is, who it's for, and how to get the most out of it from day one.
Welcome. We're glad you're here.
This is the InclusiFund community: a space for the people who run community-interest companies, charities, and community-run businesses. If you're a founder wearing five hats at once, a trustee trying to keep the lights on, or someone just starting out and not sure where to begin, this room is for you.
What this space is
It's a place to find funding, learn how the system actually works, and get practical help without the jargon. No gatekeeping. No assumption that you already know the language. Just clear, useful support for organisations doing real work in their communities.
Who it's for
- CICs at any stage, from week one to year five and beyond
- Charities and CIOs serving their local communities
- Community-run businesses and social enterprises
- Anyone supporting these organisations as a trustee, volunteer, or advisor
How to use it
Take it one step at a time. Here's a simple way in:
- Read around the posts here to get a feel for how we think about funding and infrastructure.
- Try the free CIC Toolkit at tools.inclusifund.co.uk. The eligibility checker takes a couple of minutes and shows you where your best opportunities are.
- Come back when you have a question. This is a working space, not a library.
What's coming
We're adding new guides on grants, compliance, and governance, plus walkthroughs of the free tools and honest takes on what's changing in the sector. Our aim is simple: every hour we save you on admin is an hour back for the work that matters.
We build floors, not ceilings. When one of us rises, the lift holds others.
Make yourself at home. We rank up together.
