Grants
Each year the Council identifies funds in its budget to be used for grants. In addition the Council is responsible for the management of a number of charities and trusts. Since 2012 the Council has awarded over £24,000 to local community groups and charities. To view the grants awarded in the past see the Grants Awarded section at the bottom of this page.
Who can apply for a grant?
We welcome applications from community and voluntary groups, charities and non-profit making organisations that benefit the community of Appleby-in-Westmorland. We do not accept applications from individuals or businesses whose purpose is to make a profit.
To be eligible groups and organisations must have their own constitution and bank account with at least two unrelated signatories.
What can be funded?
Grants are available for either projects or events that benefit the residents of Appleby-in-Westmorland.
How much can be applied for?
The minimum grant is £50 and the maximum £2,000. Each application will be considered on its own merits but the presumption is that grants will typically be £250. Awards towards the maximum level will be the exception and such projects and events will need to demonstrate significant community need and match funding. All grants require a minimum of 20% match funding although 10% can be in-kind.
How to apply?
The Council considers grant applications in January and July each year. Applications to be considered in January must be received by the 13th December. Applications to be considered in July must be received by 14th June.
