Community groups are invited to apply for a share of £5m funding from the Co-op’s Local Community Fund.
This year, Co-op aims to support projects concentrating on creating sustainable futures for people and the planet.
It also welcomes initiatives that advocate and celebrate diversity and inclusion.
Rebecca Birkbeck, director of community and member participation at Co-op, said: "As a co-operative, our focus is to deliver increased value for our member-owners and their communities and we know that members really care about supporting local, grassroots projects.
"Through our Local Community Fund, we’re able to support local projects and initiatives that make a real difference to people and our planet in communities across the country."
Successful beneficiaries will receive a minimum funding of £1,000.
Local charities, community groups, and voluntary organisations who are keen to apply can do so until July 7.
