St Day Parish Council has a commitment to encourage, support and promote volunteer organisations and charities within St Day for the benefit of the Parish and the well- being of residents. The Council makes an annual budget provision for Community Grants to help meet its aims.
Community grants come from taxpayer funds and a key principle of this policy is to ensure that grant expenditure is open and transparent.
PRINCIPLES
Grants will be awarded based on the following principles: Assistance will be given on the basis of need, merit and contribution to the community
• Applicants must clearly show how the grant will benefit people living in the St Day parish
• Any grant awarded may be subject to ongoing monitoring and evaluation
• Organisations should not make a presumption that funding will continue on a year to year basis
THE PROCESS
• To apply for a grant you must be a charity, community group or local voluntary organisation operating or providing a service to communities in the St Day parish
• All funding requests must be made using St Day Parish Council’s grant application form
• All application forms must be fully completed and signed; regrettably the Council will be unable to consider incomplete or unsigned applications.
All applications to be returned to the Clerk (parish.clerk@stdayparishcouncil.gov.uk). They will then be presented to full council for a decision to be taken.
