There are some amazing things going on in our communities, many of which don’t get the recognition they deserve.
From food banks and projects to help people feel less isolated, to family fun days, festivals and music projects for children, to name just a few. We do our best to support as many ideas as possible, through our Community Grants scheme.
What are Community Grants?
Community Grants are small awards of up to £500, available to local groups and organisations in St Ann’s, Sneinton and Mapperley (Area 6 ). The awards are available for a huge range of projects – from ongoing services such as community language classes and sports activities, to one-off events like family fun days and community celebrations. Groups can apply for a Community Grant every 12 months.
How to apply
Simply download and return the Community Grant Application Form to us. Alternatively, we can pop a paper copy in the post for you. Next, your application will be considered by a panel made up of our Community Support Workers and a Renewal Trust Board member. The panel meets on the last week of the month, so it won’t be long before you hear whether or not your application has been successful. You will need to submit your application, with the relevant documentation, by the 15th of the month if you want it to be considered that month.
If it’s your first application contact us and we can help you through the process. You can contact us 0115 911 2226 or by email.
Please return your form to:
The Administration Team, The Renewal Trust, 27-31 Carlton Road, Nottingham, NG3 2DG
or you can email it to us.
Sharing your feedback
If you’re awarded a Community Grant, we’ll ask you to share how your event or activity went, once it’s taken place. You’ll need to do this to receive your grant in full. To send us your report simply download the Community Grant Monitoring Report. Alternatively, we’ll happily send you a paper copy.
