Alumni Community Engagement Fund (ACEF) 2026/27

The Alumni Community Engagement Fund (ACEF) 2026–27 supports Commonwealth alumni to design and deliver community engagement activities in their local communities. Funds are provided to run activities that raise awareness of development issues and promote knowledge-sharing, dialogue, and practical action, with activities aligned to one of three priority themes. The programme is run annually by the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission in the UK (CSC).

Showcase impact through CSC publications.

Applicants must be Commonwealth alumni (individuals, alumni associations or groups), propose a new activity, select one of the themes, and define a clear target community.

Submit the online application form for ACEF 2026–27 with a workplan and budget; review by CSC, and information sessions may be part of the process.
