Community Resilience Grant Policy - How much money will be awarded?
7.1 The Council has decided that, for the purposes of this scheme, grants will be awarded at between £2,000 and £10,000. Grants can cover between 80-100% of the project’s total eligible costs. Where applications have requested 100% grant support, an explanation will be required as to why the organisation is seeking such a level of funding from the council e.g. limited reserves/cashflow opportunities.
7.2 The Council will determine the amount of the grant awarded for each business on a case-by-case basis, and may not match the total grant amount requested. Wherever possible, project proposals will be required to provide at least 20% of their total project costs as match funding for the programme.
7.3 Only one REPF Grant will be awarded to any single organisation. This will also apply if more than one Limited Company has the same director(s) or where more than one business has the same proprietor (either sole traders or partnerships).
7.4 An organisation may apply to fund multiple projects, but it is at the discretion of the grant panel to decide which project is funded.
7.5 Applications must be project-specific; a single application should not detail more than one project.
