The Crowborough Town Council is offering grants to groups and organisations which contribute to the welfare of the community by improving or supporting facilities and/or activities.
Applicants must be able to demonstrate why the funding is required, with details of the project, together with how much funding is being applied for and how many Crowborough residents are expected to benefit.
Conditions
- Grants awarded at the March meeting will be paid by the end of April.
- Grants will not routinely exceed 50% of the cost of the project or activity.
- Any grant awarded in excess of £10,000 shall be subject to ratification by resolution of Full Council
- Applicants will provide details of the project/activity and the number of Crowborough residents expected to benefit.
- Any unspent money by the end of the financial year in which the grant was awarded must be returned to the council.
- As a condition of the grant organisations must provide evidence as to how the grant was spent.
- As a condition of receiving a grant, organisations will be required to acknowledge the council’s support in publicity material.
- Applications will not be considered if not accompanied by the most recent accounts, or in the case of new organisations a budget forecast.
- The council will not normally support commercial organisations, major charities, bodies considered to be self-funded or provided for by other authorities.
- In exceptional circumstances, a grant may be awarded outside the grant timetable at the discretion of the Full Council. The council reserves the right to refuse any grant application, or offer an alternate amount to that originally requested.
