As the money that is available for grants is very limited the Council has guidelines which it follows when deciding which applications to approve. These are:
Non-profit making
The organisation applying must be non-profit-making
Stonehouse based
The organisation should be Stonehouse based and provide a useful service to the community
Provide a facility that is used by Stonehouse residents
Be an organisation which is not Stonehouse based, but which can show that it provides a service or facility which is used by a significant number of Stonehouse residents.
Important
What will we not fund?
1. Retrospective funding, 2. Funding for individuals, 3. Funding for political activities, 4. Applications for events exclusively for members for a particular faith group. 5. The grant will not support other public sector bodies i.e. schools, social services, however community and voluntary groups associated with these may apply.
