Deadline: 7-Sep-22
The Canterbury City Council is seeking applications for its Innovation Grant program to support innovative projects against their corporate priorities.
Aims
Innovation grants are aimed at:
- encouraging new projects or services that meet local need in innovative and creative ways
- promoting growth and diversity by supporting innovation and developing skills
- Grants will be awarded for innovative work those organisations are already delivering against their corporate priorities, or for an innovative project in its own right which will deliver against their corporate priorities.
- As the projects funded may be working in new areas, a greater focus will be placed upon learning from these projects and sharing these results with the wider community.
Funding Information
- The maximum award is £3,000.
- Eligible organisations will be awarded between £500 and £3,000
Eligibility Criteria
- You can apply for this grant if you are a not for profit organisation working in the voluntary, culture and sports sectors in the Canterbury district. If you are an individual or sole trader, profit-making organisation or an organisation not established in the UK, then they are unable to fund you.
- They will be looking for well considered and clearly explained project ideas that demonstrate a good understanding of the environment in which your organisation is operating, as well as long term planning for sustainability after the project has concluded.
