Grants and Funding

Grants are a great way to source funding for projects. There are always new ones opening up for various initiatives, so keep an eye out for updates.

Important things to keep in mind when applying for grants:
  • Most grants need submission of a budget and/or action plan. Make sure you’re project ready when applying for a grant.
  • Even though you apply for an amount, you may not receive all the funding applied for. Ensure you have other avenues to financially support the project.
  • The more information the better! Make sure you provide all the information you can about the project and who it may benefit, not only within the club, but also the wider community if applicable.
  • Seek help. If you have a large project, reach out to Maddy Gough ([email protected]) and your local council for any support you may need.
