What is a Community Grant?
At Stotfold Town Council, we offer community grants to help local groups and projects that help to make a positive difference in our town.
Our community grants support initiatives that benefit Stotfold community and often bring people together.
Whether you're running a community event, improving local facilities or launching a new project, we’re here to support your efforts.
To qualify for a grant, your organisation or group should:
• Be based in or clearly benefit the residents of Stotfold.
• Have a clear purpose or project that aligns with community improvement or enrichment.
• Be open to or benefit all members of the community.
• Not be for individual profit-making or personal gain.
We welcome applications from a variety of different groups including (but not limited to): registered charities, community groups, sports clubs, voluntary organisations, schools and other not-for-profit entities.
If you're not sure whether your project or group can qualify for a grant, please contact [email protected] or call us on 01462 730 064. The staff at Stotfold Town Council are always happy to help clarify.
The Grants Guidance Notes 2024.pdf provide clear information to assist with applications.
Applying for a grant is straightforward.
1. Complete our online application form: fill in our Community Grant Application form (link set out below) or collect a copy of the form in person from our Council office.
