How much can I apply for?
The total size of the Community Benefits Fund will be up to £20,000 in each annual funding round. Applicants can apply for funding up to the total annual size of the fund and for up to 100% of the project costs. Applicants should be aware that applications for grant funding received each year typically exceed the total value of the fund. Hence, it is unlikely that all grant applications will be successful. Grants can be awarded for all, or part of the funding requested; alternatively, it may be decided to offer all funding to one project. Applications that can demonstrate their ability to secure match-funding will be considered. All applicants and/or projects are free to apply for funding in subsequent funding years.
Where other sources of funding have been secured or are being applied for, the applicant should provide relevant details in section 5 of the application form.
