WCVA gives voluntary organisations access to sources of funding managed within the voluntary sector, strengthening their independence from other sectors.

WCVA manages a range of grant schemes as well as a loan package that support local voluntary organisations, communities and volunteers throughout Wales, with funding from charitable trusts, the Millennium Commission, the National Assembly for Wales and the European Structural Funds. Our schemes are safeguarding and increasing the overall funding available for the voluntary sector in Wales.

Applications for grant aid and loan finance are considered by grant panels, whose members are drawn from WCVA's Board as well as additional experts from the voluntary sector and other sectors.

WCVA is always aiming to improve the information it provides about its schemes, we would like to hear how useful you found these web pages and would welcome any suggestions on how these could be improved.
