The Council's objective is to provide an integrated Grant Aid Programme that supports services and projects that benefit and address the needs of Mid Suffolk residents, that is easy to understand and allows fair access to funding.

Community Project Grant Aid is available to a maximum of £20,000 and is designed to support actions that address a variety of subjects such as:

• New multi functional village hall facilities or capital improvements to existing facilities
• Projects stimulating the development and appreciation of the Arts
• Setting up, or restoration, of play areas and equipment
• Provision of new recreation facilities and sports equipment
• Start up of services aimed at the very young, youth and the elderly, with priority being given to initiatives to combat anti social behaviour and isolation
• Enhancement of open spaces and settings, with priority being given to designated conservation areas and proposals emanating from Village Action Plan initiatives
  

This list should not be viewed as exhaustive – please contact the Community Development Officer (details below) for a copy of the Guidance Note.

Where the estimated total project costs are in excess of £10,000, applicants will be expected to explore all other avenues of grant funding. The Council's Grant Finder Service can assist in sourcing other potential funding

The maximum amount of any gap funding grant available to any single proposal will be £20,000

Where the estimated or total project costs are less than £10,000, the amount of grant available is up to 50% of costs to a maximum grant of £5,000.
