£130,000 for Community Projects in East Lindsey
This page is part of the news archive and for reference only
Community Grants will soon be available from East Lindsey District Council again and a series of special workshops have been organised to help organisations who might like to make an application.
2011/12 Community Grant Scheme offers Small Grants of £250 or larger Community Grants of up to £8,000 to local not for profit organisations. The scheme is open to all not for profit organisations and parish Councils; and both revenue and capital projects can be supported.
The Scheme, which is expected to award around £130,000 over the next year, is administered through two funding rounds; the deadline for applicants wishing to submit to Round One of the scheme is May 9, 2011; with the Round Two deadline anticipated to be during September 2011.
Cllr Edward Mossop, Community Grants Chairman, explained: “I’m pleased the District Council has chosen to allocate this substantial sum of money to the Community Grants Programme for 2011/12. Since its launch three years ago, the Scheme has supported lots of local community led projects; and hopefully once again this year we will be able to help realise more worthy community projects that otherwise might not happen without the financial support offered through the grant scheme.”
The Council is encouraging organisations considering an application to attend a Workshop to better understand the process and how to write a strong community grant application.
The Workshops take place as follows:
