Community Grants

What is a Community Grant?

Stotfold Town Council is committed to providing financial assistance and support to eligible local community groups, faith groups, not-for-profit organisations and organisations working in Stotfold and supporting its local residents. These financial grants aim to provide support for residents connected to improved wellbeing, leisure and opportunities to ensure inclusivity and equal opportunity for all.

Stotfold Town Council has two grant award periods – February and September annually. In order for Stotfold Town Council to be able to assess applications objectively, it must assess all applications received against a range of eligibility criteria and will be presented to and decided on by the Governance & Resources Committee. 

Grant Awards between 2022 - 2025

How can I apply for a Community Grant Application?

Applications can be made via an online application form. The Grant Applications deadlines for the 2025 - 2026 year will be advertised when the Town Council Meetings Calendar has been agreed by the Town Council. 

Please note that any applications will also require the following supporting documentation in order to be considered in the relevant Grant Application Phase:

  • Constitution or Governing Document

These should be emailed to finance@stotfoldtowncouncil.gov.uk or hand delivered to the Town Council marked for the attention of the Finance Officer.
