Grants

Wallingford Town Council budgets a sum of money every year to organisations, activities and projects that contribute to, and enhance the life and community of the town so as to benefit the people of Wallingford.

General Grants are up to a maximum of £500. These grants are limited and are made available to organisations that address a demonstrable need for assistance. The types of projects to be funded could include purchase of equipment, training or volunteers, marketing activity or subsidising a trip or visit.

Grant requests of up to £500 will be considered by the Finance and Properties Committee which meets quarterly. Grants over this amount and up to £1,500 will be considered by Full Council which meets bi-monthly. All grants will be authorised by resolution.

The deadline for receipt of grant applications is 2 weeks before the day of the meeting of the appropriate committee.
