All applicants need at least 20% cash match funding (in kind does not count), a Welsh language policy, and to reflect the bilingual nature of the area. It cannot fund commercial organisations, private members-only clubs, projects that only benefit one individual, narrowly religious or party political projects, statutory responsibilities or work that starts before a grant contract is issued.
