Small Project Grants - See Grant Finder section Generally, the smaller the grant the easier the application process. A history of gaining and handling smaller grants necessary before many larger grants can be applied for. Large Project Grants - See Grant Finder section There are several sources for grants for larger projects and naturally the application processes are not only complex but also have criteria in place that must be rigorously complied with.
Some points to
consider when applying for a large grant are that the application
meets the criteria of the grant, having a thorough public
consultation, having support of local bodies (SMBC, a Councillor &
the Forum) grants won, lost & applied for if part funding is needed,
having permission of the land owner, being able to demonstrate that
they have partners who can help with the whole process. |
