    • Is non political and does not have fund-raising as one of its key objectives
    • Has open membership with at least 5 Trustees \Directors

      • (Note: Funding allocations may be reduced if more than 6 months unrestricted reserves are held. Neither restricted nor ‘appropriate’ designated funds will be considered within this allowance. Further discussion may be required to clarify ‘appropriate’ designated funds but as a guide, redundancy costs or pension liability costs would be accepted. The Council expects external income to be generated and will generally reward those proactive in this area but must also consider actual financial need.

    • Is applying for revenue funding (this grant scheme does not support applications for capital items e.g. building work or one off purchases)
