Grants and Funding

FUNDING & SUPPORT FOR VOLUNTARY & COMMUNITY ORGANISATIONS

Funding Policy 2010-2013

Ashford Borough Council's new Policy for Funding & Support of Voluntary and Community Organisations came into effect on 1 April 2010.  The Policy is the result of extensive local consultation and we have written to thank everyone who took the time to give us their views. 

 

Single Grants Gateway

The Policy will be accompanied shortly by a one-stop scheme to be known as the Single Grants Gateway, through which all applications from voluntary and community organisations for Ashford Borough Council funding for the year 2011-2012 and onwards will be made.  There will be a single point of entry to the Council for applications and an officer responsible for liaising with applicants and acting as their point of contact throughout.

 

The Grants Gateway scheme will be linked to specific funding priorities relevant to the Council's Business Plan, and will comprise a mix of funding arrangements to allow best fit with the project or service in question, and a proportionate application and monitoring processes.  The scheme will ensure that we and the applicant both understand the positive local impact and benefits of the Council's funding and support.

 

Grants Gateway Applications

We are currently drafting Grants Gateway Funding Guidance for Applicants and will be formalising the application process over the next few months.  We will be writing to all Council funding recipients with further information in due course and holding information sessions on the Grants Gateway for applicants later in the year.  You can email us with specific queries although we would be grateful for your patience in waiting for the scheme detail to become available before you do so.  We will update this page regularly.

Community Grants Fund

We envisage minimal outward changes to the Council's Community Grants Fund and it will continue in the same format for the time being.
