GRANTS
The aim of the grant funding scheme is to provide financial support to local groups in respect of specified projects which benefit Wendover residents and add value to current activities available to the local community.
The Council has two categories of grants:
Minor Grants – applications up to £1000, applications can be made throughout the year
Major Grants – Applications over £1000 to a maximum of £5000.
All applications are reviewed by the Finance Committee in February. Applicants are then notified and the grants are awarded in April.
Wendover Parish Council cannot consider applications from profit making organisations, projects or fund-raising activities or political parties. Further information in terms of eligibility, grant amounts and timelines can be found in the Wendover Parish Council Grants Policy below.
In the first instance an application form will need to be completed and submitted to Wendover Parish Council. The application form can be found below, you can download and fill the form in digitally or print it out and fill it out by hand.
DEADLINES FOR MAJOR GRANTS: 4pm Mon 12th February 2024
The Council considers minor grants throughout the year but when the budget is gone the applications will close.
