Each year Crickhowell Town Council ring-fences an amount of their budget for making grants to support non-profit-making local organisations. They can provide one-off grants up to a maximum of £500 to organisations based within the community of Crickhowell, which demonstrate appropriate match-funding and fit with the wider Place Plan objectives.

A Crickhowell Town Council grant is normally available only to groups or organisations which demonstrate that they have made serious attempts to raise money by other means and sources, including their own fund-raising activities.

Crickhowell Town Council will 

• ensure that all grants awarded by Crickhowell Town Council shall comply in all respects with any provisions or limitations imposed by the Local Government Act 1972 or any other statutory requirement;

• not normally award a grant to an organisation that has been in receipt of a grant from the Council in the previous 24 months;

• expect successful organisations in receipt of a grant to agree to allow Crickhowell Town Council to feature notification of such awards on the Town Council web site.

The applying organisation should:

i. be a non-trading, not-for-profit voluntary organisation; 

ii. apply for financial assistance as a whole body and not a particular section within that organisation;

iii. be based and operate in the area of Crickhowell Town Council; however, should a specific service be offered within Crickhowell by an organisation not based in the area of Crickhowell Town Council, then they could be eligible for consideration;

iv. supply a copy of the organisation’s constitution or terms of reference;

v. be managed and organised in a recognised and accountable manner;

vi. operate on an inclusive basis;

vii. clearly show, where appropriate, member subscriptions and charges made

viii. in normal circumstances, show by means of properly drawn up accounts or statement of accounts and balance sheet that it is in genuine need of assistance;

ix. provide a copy of the most recent accounts;

The application should:

i. clearly specify the purpose for which any awarded grant would be utilised;

ii. clearly specify any other source(s) of funding for the stated purpose;

iii. demonstrate how this will help to deliver one or more of the Crickhowell Town Council’s priority objectives as set out in its Place Plan;

iv. demonstrate by reference to any and all other available funding source(s), the proportion of the purpose costs that will be met by Crickhowell Town Council
