Applications invited for cultural projects in Dorset
Dorset Council’s Community & Culture Project Fund is inviting applications from organisers of cultural and sports projects.
Organisers of cultural and sports projects are invited to apply for grants from Dorset Council’s Community & Culture Project Fund.
Not-for-profit groups meeting eligibility and funding criteria can apply for a grant of up to £5,000. Dorset Council will fund up to 80 per cent of applicants’ total project costs, with those applying demonstrating how the remaining 20 per cent will be covered through additional grants, sponsorship, fundraising or partner contributions.
The grant fund is for one-off events; activities and specific cultural, sports and community project-based work in the Dorset Council area only.
New and emerging groups (who are less than 12 months old) can apply for a smaller grant of up to £1,500.
Anna Eastgate, Dorset Council’s corporate director for Place Services, said: “Priority has been given to projects supporting disadvantaged, marginalised or under-served groups in Dorset, and we have seen some fantastic projects get the funding they need to really make a difference to local people.”
For more information see the Dorset Council website.
The small grants fund will close at midnight on Sunday 9 June. Decisions will be made in July.
