Community Grants Scheme |
|
|
2008 - 2011 |
|
|
A
NEW
FUND FOR LOCAL GROUPS
|
|
|
|
|
|
Kirklees
Council’s Community Grants are for groups wanting to run locally based
projects in one or more wards. |
|
|
Each ward has £15,500
available in each financial year. |
|
|
|
|
|
To be eligible for a
grant, your group must be non-profit making, have a constitution and
accounts, and your own bank account. (If you do not have these, you may
still be able to get funding for your project if you can find an
established group which will hold the grant for you). You will need to be
able to show that your group is well run. You should be able to show
why there is a need for your project, and how much it will cost. |
|
|
|
|
|
The maximum grant
that we will give for any project is £3,000. For grants of less
than £500 we offer a fast track decision making process – please ask
for details. Only one grant will be made to any organisation each
financial year. |
|
|
|
|
|
The types of project
we want to fund are those which stimulate community activity in a local
area. This might be an estate, a village, a ward or a locality.
Unfortunately we cannot fund activities which promote religion or
party politics. As the focus of the grant is local activity, we will
not fund projects which operate across the whole of Kirklees. We
cannot make grants to individuals, statutory organisations, or national
organisations. |
|
|
|
|
|
The scheme will
operate in the financial years 2008/9 2009/10 and 2010/1. The first
deadline for applications will be in December 2008 and we expect that
successful applicants will be informed in January 2009. |
