Melton Parish Council Grant Application – 2022

Melton Parish Council Grant Application – 2022

WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR GRANTS IN 2022

Melton Parish Council gives small grants to local organisations each year. We have a small fund available this year and invite organisations in Melton, or those that provide a service to the residents of Melton, to apply. You can complete the form below, download the Grant Application Form or contact the office for a paper form. Guidance can be found at the bottom of this page in the Notes section. Applications must be received by the 31st October 2022.

Please note all fields must be completed.

NOTES:

  1. The budget for grants is set by Melton Parish Council in January each year
  2. The budget year in which the grant will be payable is the financial year 1st April to 31st March following the setting of the budget
  3. Grants would normally be payable to organisations rather than individuals working for the benefit of the residents of Melton
  4. Projects that the council would wish to support would normally be of a capital rather than a revenue nature
  5. Grants to individuals will not be considered
  6. All applications must be on the prescribed form, be in hard copy, either hand or electronically written and accompanied by a copy of the organisations latest approved accounts
  7. Once the budget for any given year is expended no further applications will be considered
  8. Applications would not normally be considered within three years of a previous successful application
  9. As a general guide grants will not exceed £500 and in order to assist as many organisations as possible may well be substantially lower
  10. All applications will be considered on their own merits but where there is an equality of merit the budget may be split equally between all applicants
  11. The deadline date for applications is 31 October 2022. Completed paper applications should be sent to the Clerk to the Council, Melton Parish Council, 17 Riduna Park, Station Road, Melton, Woodbridge IP12 1QT or via email to clerk@melton-suffolk-pc.gov.uk

  15. All applicants will be advised of the decision of council by email following the meeting in November
  16. Grants approved will be paid to the applicant organisation as soon as possible following the decision
