Neighbourhood Match Fund
1. Community First grant awards must be between £250-£2,500.
2. Grants are for one year’s funding. Groups will need to reapply for funding for future years activity.
3. Each Organisation/group can apply for one grant per year. Not multiple grants adding up to £2,500.
4. Projects must not last longer than 1 year.
5. Non constituted groups can apply for funding. But they need to agree to develop governing documents. It is recommended that their members should sign some form of written agreement (such as a term of reference document) to cover the activity of the project.
6. All grants must be matched with cash, in-kind services or volunteer time (calculated at £11.09 per hour).
7. Government money cannot be used as a cash match. It is considered double funding. This includes funding from local government (local councils) or central government (government departments).
8. Public sector organisations cannot apply for funding, nor can they hold any of the funding on behalf of other organisations.
9. In-kind services. These can include use of facilities free of charge (where normally there would be a hire fee), and use of equipment free of charge (where normally there would be a hire or purchase fee).
10. Projects must be of benefit to residents in the designated area (please see the map in the 'about us' section above)
