Funding for local community projects

Small Community Capital Projects 2010-11: Closing date 27 August 2010*

Kent County Council and Dover District Council have allocated £61,400 to the five Dover District Neighbourhood Forums to award small capital grants for community projects.

 

Small Capital grants of up to £2,500 are available to all types of organisations and groups across the district and an application pack (MS Word) is now available. Whilst there is no minimum amount we would prefer not to receive requests for less than £250, because the cost of processing these will usually be more than the value of the grant.

 

All grants from the Small Community Capital Projects Fund are one-off and for one year only and must show benefit to the community.

 

Kent County Council is administering the Small Community Capital Projects grant for the Dover District Neighbourhood Forums. Please contact KCC Community Engagement Manager Anne Charman for advice on who can, and how to, apply for grant funding and to discuss any project you would like support for. Please see contact details below.

 

The closing date for applications is Friday 27 August 2010 - but please try to send your application forms in to Anne as soon as possible. 

*Deadline Extended: Deal & Walmer and Sandwich Area Neighbourhood Forums

As of Friday 27 August 2010, applications for the Small Community Capital Projects grant fund to the Deal & Walmer and Sandwich Area Neighbourhood Forums were undersubscribed. The deadline has therefore been extended to Friday 10 September.

 

This does not apply to Dover North, Dover West or Dover Town, applications to which were all over-subscribed.
