Grassroots Grants Fund

 

We are approaching the end of the Grassroots Grants programme and are looking for your help to encourage eligible organisations to apply as soon as possible for a share of the remaining funds. 
We need to commit all of the remaining funds by the end of December 2010 however it is very likely that funds will be committed well before this date. If groups wish to apply they should therefore aim to do so as soon as possible. There is no closing date for applications – we will accept and assess applications as they are received until all of the funds are spent.
 
From the original £1.1m that was available we have only around £80,000 left to award.
 
To be eligible for Grassroots funding groups must:
  •         be a voluntary of community group (parish councils are not eligible)
  •         have a formal constitution and a bank account
  •         have been active for more than a year     
  •         have an average annual income of less than £30,000 (taken over the last 3 years)      
  •         be largely volunteer led         
  •         be meeting local community need
Any grants awarded will need to be fully spent by 31 March 2011.

To apply, download an application pack.

To discuss your application further or if you have any questions, please contact the Grants Team by email or Tel 01603 623958
