GRANTS - WOULD YOUR GROUP LIKE A GRANT FROM THE TOWN COUNCIL?

Ampthill Town Council has made provision for two types of grant application.

Scheduled Grant
A scheduled grant application is one where an application is received and considered by the Community Engagement Committee. Meeting dates will be published on the Council’s website. Receipt of completed applications no later than 10 days prior to published meeting date. The Community & Engagement Committee may resolve to approve grants up to the value of £1,500. Grants in excess of £1,500 will be subject to the approval of Town Council at its next meeting.

Special Grant
An application for a special grant may be made at any time throughout the year, funds permitting, but the Council will only consider the application if there is a genuine immediate need, such as a community project experiencing financial hardship. The maximum sum available for a special grant is £2,500 and no applicant may submit more than one special grant application form in a single financial year.
