Crawley Borough Council Grants

Crawley Borough Council Small Grants

Crawley Borough Council

Crawley Borough Council's Small Grants scheme offers grants of up to £2,500 to local community groups and voluntary organisations that support Crawley residents and groups in need. It is a new scheme, and its aim is to help activities that build stronger community connections and cohesion. That could mean helping to promote and develop a strong civic community and pride of place. It could also mean creative and proactive work that brings people together. You can ask for funding for a specific project activity, an event, or items of equipment you need for a project. Start-up grants are also available as community development support. The council would like your proposal to have local support. Ideally, this means volunteer involvement, individual or company giving, including gifts in kind, and the backing of a Crawley Borough Councillor. It is worth thinking about these early, as they help show your project has roots in the community. There is no fixed deadline. You can apply online at any time, subject to funding being available. Before you apply, read the council's Community Grants funding policy and criteria document. It sets out the full requirements, including who is eligible. The council also publishes its grant funding terms and conditions. You are encouraged to call or email the community grants team to talk through your idea first.
