Community Grants
Is your community group or organisation looking for funding for a particular project?
The Council annually sets a grants budget to give financial assistance to a range of organisations, projects and activities which provide services for local residents.
Requests are received from voluntary groups, charitable and community organisations. Any applicants for funding must meet the criteria set out in the Discretionary Grants Policy.
Any grant agreed is discretionary funding and as such is separate from any other services which the Council may fund under contract to fulfil statutory obligations or the delegated works of any of its Committees.
In the event of the Council receiving more requests for funding, in any one financial year, than the budgeted provision, funding will be awarded only to those to which it assigns the highest priority.
To qualify for an award applicants must be able to demonstrate that any funding received will benefit the Parish, or residents of the Parish (a number, or percentage, should be stated in the application). Grant applications are dealt with by the Policy and Resources Committee.
Applications are invited for funding from not for profit organisations with a constitution and a bank account with at least two signatories. Grant funding cannot be awarded to individuals.
