Full details from Devon County Council
Each Devon county councillor has a £10,000 locality budget for 2026/27 to make grants to projects and activities that benefit the communities they represent, in line with the council's Strategic Plan priorities: young people, independence and dignity, a green Devon, economic inclusion and stronger, safer communities. Grants are a funder of last resort, projects should have other contributions or local support, and money must be spent by the end of March 2027. Your county councillor must confirm support before you apply. The council notes that high demand means processing is currently slower than usual.
Contact your local county councillor to ask for support. Once they confirm, complete the online locality budget application form on the Devon County Council page, listing every councillor you are asking for funding.
