Farnham Town Council inviting Applications for Community Grants - UK

The Farnham Town Council is inviting applications for Community Grants that is based on the principle of promoting the development of partnerships which encourage and enable local community organisations to deliver local projects to the residents of Farnham.

Farnham Town Council is funded only by the local residents of Farnham and therefore has only limited funds available to assist community organisations located and working in Farnham for the benefit of Farnham residents.

Funding Information

Grants are available to any not-for-profit organisation that wishes to complete a one off project or project that will require funding for up to a maximum or three years where normally a tapering grant contribution will be considered.
Funding for years 2 and 3 if agreed subsequently will be based on a reducing grant with the aim of the project becoming self financing at year 4.
