Full details from East Ayrshire Council
East Ayrshire Council offers a wide range of grants to local voluntary organisations. Applications for £500 or less can be sent at any time and are decided under delegated authority, rather than waiting for a Grants Committee meeting. Larger requests follow the committee timetable on the council's page. Applicants should check the Grants Criteria and send a completed application form with a Letter of Representation and all core documents, as incomplete applications can be delayed.
Download the grant application form, Letter of Representation and Guide to Grants from the East Ayrshire community grants page, check the Grants Criteria, and email the completed pack to communitygrants@east-ayrshire.gov.uk.
