Grants, Donations & Chairman’s Civic Awards

What is the Grants Fund?

Every year Alvechurch Parish Council sets aside money within the budget for the Grants Fund, aimed to benefit people and projects local to the Villages of Alvechurch.

Applications will be considered for financial assistance towards a specific project, item or activity from community associations, cultural, educational, sporting and charitable organisations, which are non-commercial and whose membership and field of activities are located within the Parish.

Who can apply?

Any not-for-profit group operating for the benefit of the community of Alvechurch. This is provided that you have a constitution or set of rules and a bank account with at least two signatories.

What will not be funded?

Activities that are part of statutory obligations.
Loan repayments.
Retrospective applications where the activity or project has already been carried out (unless Council notified in advance).
Religious or political activities unless unrestricted community benefit can be demonstrated.
