Bentley Motors is working with long-term partner Cheshire Community Foundation to launch a Covid impact fund supporting key projects in the area.
A series of one-off grants ranging from £5,000 to £25,000 will be available from the impact fund.
It aims to deliver a 12-month programme of activities focused on making a real difference across the community.
The launch of the new fund bolsters funding available to local not-for-profit organisations in 2021.
It will be open to applications from projects that tackle food poverty, mental health and wellbeing, debt relief and financial education.
The fund is now open to applications via the Cheshire Community Foundation website until March 31, 2021.
Dr Astrid Fontaine, Member of the Board for People, Digitalisation and IT, said: “Supporting the local community through our Come Back Stronger programme has been a key part of Bentley’s response to Covid from the beginning.
“Now, as we focus on long-term recovery, it’s vital that we look again at the support in place for those that need it most.
“I’m therefore delighted to be able to boost our long-standing relationship with the Cheshire Community Foundation through this additional injection of support for local community.
“We look forward to hearing from the organisations locally about the support that they require.”
Zoe Sheppard, CEO of Cheshire Community Foundation, said: “The whole team at Cheshire Community Foundation is thrilled to support our valued partner Bentley with this grants programme.
“The impact of Covid-19 has been devastating to so many people in the local community, and this fund will enable Crewe charities and not-for-profit organisations to support those who really need it most.
“Bentley’s generosity and commitment is truly inspiring.”
The Cheshire Community Foundation works with small charities and voluntary groups across Cheshire, helping to connect them to companies that can help to make a difference.

It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
