Grant Aid to Community
Organisations
Grants Programme - Applications welcomed
We have reviewed the grants application process, and
South Lakeland District Council are now able to
consider applications for grant funding from;
- voluntary organisations,
- community groups,
- non-for-profit organisations
and
- talented individuals.
The grants budget will be finalised in
February 2012, with a closing date for applications of
31st March 2012. Applications received
after this date will not be considered. Once received
applications will be assessed, and considered by a grants
panel. Applicants will be notified of the decision
regarding the grant application by the end of June 2012.
Corporate Plan & Objectives
In awarding any grants monies the Council must
ensure that the activities which receive grant aid reflects its
overall aims and objectives. Applications from new
applicants are particularly welcome, and applications for grant
funding should meet at least one of the councils Corporate Plan priorities of;
- Housing
- Economic Development
- Environment including Climate
Change
- Culture and Wellbeing
We are unable to assist:
- National charities
- Religious bodies for the purpose
of promoting their beliefs
- Political parties or groups
engaged in partly political activity
- Seed-corn funding for new
adventures except at a very minimal level
Please note that if your application
falls outside the general responsibilities of the Council and
can be clearly attributed to another statutory organisation, then
generally no grant will be made.
