Small grants scheme

This Scheme seeks to support a range of local voluntary organisations (eg care charities, arts groups, sports clubs and youth groups). It offers modest contributions to help with:

• Running costs (care groups only).
• Specific projects (£3,000 maximum per award although, in practice, grants tend to be limited to below £1,000).

The total budget for such grants is just over £25,000 per annum.

The following are not eligible

• Organisations with no tangible presence in the district
• Commercial organisations
• Schools
• Parish or village councils
• Individuals.

Projects must benefit Tandridge residents and should not conflict with the Council's corporate objectives.

Both applicant organisations and their proposed projects must be financially viable.

The Council must not be the sole contributor (ie funding should also come from the organisation itself and/or other sources).

Grants for specific projects (all types of voluntary organisation can apply):
