Small Grants to Organisations
Terms & Conditions
Rangeworthy Parish Council has a small amount of funding that it makes available to local voluntary and community groups each year. The Parish Council is willing to consider all requests for funding but stresses that projects funded must benefit some or all of the parish residents and will benefit them commensurate with the expenditure. All applications will be considered on their individual merits. The final decision on assessment of applications and the level of any award offered lies with the Parish Council.
The deadline for applications is 30th August.
Eligibility

Amount of Grant
- Applicants will be required to meet a significant proportion of the estimated costs of the project.
