Our Grant Streams

The Town Council operates three grant funding streams to which properly constituted, not-for-profit groups who’s funded project will bring direct benefit to the residents of Todmorden can apply.

Stream 1 – New Organisations.  This stream offers a one-off  award to a maximum of £500 for new organisations which do not have a full year of operation or accounts to support their application.

Stream 2 – Existing Organisations.  This stream offers awards of up to £3,000 to existing organisations.  Awards are for a percentage of total project costs.   Applicant organisations can make one application per financial year.  Grant applications for Town Hall hire costs can be made under this stream.

Stream 3 – Climate Emergency Grants – This stream offers grants of up to £1,250 to applicants who wish to deliver projects that help address and tackle the climate emergency.

How & When to Apply for a Grant

One application form can be used to apply for all three grant streams. Before completing the form, you must read our Grants Policy which outlines the full terms and conditions of our grant scheme.

Grant applications to streams 1 and 2 are reviewed and decided upon by our Resources Committte and there are four funding rounds in each financial year.

Grant applications to stream 3 are reviewed and decided upon by our Climate Emergency Committee and there are also four funding rounds in each financial year.

Our Grant Feedback Requirements

Successful applicants must submit feedback on their grant within 3 months of  completion of the funded project.  This can be done using our feedback form which must be returned to us with supporting financial information to show that the grant you received has been spent in full.  We expect to see receipts and invoices to show the grant was spent as you said it would be in your application.

The same feedback form can be used for all grant streams.

NB:  New grant applications will not be accepted from organisations who have not given us feedback on previous grants.

Maximum Grant Awards

Our maximum grant awards are as follows:

  • Stream 1 New Organisations – £500
  • Stream 2 Existing Organisations – £3,000
  • Stream 3 Climate Emergency Grants – £1,250

We do not offer 100% grants.  Grants are given as a percentage of total project costs and the percentage given varies depending on total project costs; please see our Grant Policy for exact values.

We do not usually accept applications for more than £3,000.  If we do, then the application will be considered by the Resources Committee first and then, if successful,  sent to Full Council for ratification. 

If you are thinking of making an application that exceeds £3,000, please contact us for a discussion prior to application  on 0770 632 2037.
