Who can apply?
To guide you in deciding whether to put forward a project,
please note all of the following points:
- the Small Community Capital Projects Fund only awards money for
the purchase, creation or significant renovation of capital assets.
(It does not fund past, current or future running costs, or your
organisation's core costs, for example).
- the Small Community Capital Projects Fund awards grants up to a
maximum of £20,000 per project (except for Dover which is
£5,000).
- you should not regard the maximum grant as a target figure. In
practice, most allocations from the fund will be for smaller
amounts.
- any funding awarded is a one-off payment.
- we only award grants to properly constituted organisations.
(This includes organisations such as district, parish and town
councils, voluntary and community groups, churches, societies,
charities, etc. You must show in your application, that your
organisation is properly and legally organised, and has its own
bank account).
- grants are not to replace funding for other support you may be
eligible to obtain, or that you have obtained in the past, from
us.
- we will consider applications from religious
groups, but the application must show that the project will bring
wider community benefit.
- we can only award this grant to projects beginning before 31
March 2009.
If you are unsure whether you are eligible to apply for this
grant, please contact your local
Community Liaison Manager for advice.
