Elector Fund Application Form

(Please note: an * indicates a required field.)

Devon County Council and Teignbridge District Council have allocated a sum of money for grants available until 31 March 2018.

The available grant is a sum based on £1.10 per elector in each Parish in Teignbridge based on the electoral register as it stood in Feb 2017.

You can get the number of electors in each parish from this document (requires a PDF reader).

The fund is for Towns and Parishes working together and involving their communities to try to solve local issues. Projects should be likely to achieve the promotion or improvement of, economic, social or environmental well being of the area. The fund is not intended for unsustainable projects, salaries for ongoing posts, individuals, private businesses, revenue costs for existing projects.
The Fund will prioritise new and innovative projects. Applicants are strongly encouraged to seek matched funding to help maximise project benefits. Applications for on-going projects or organisations already in receipt of local authority grant funding are unlikely to be approved.
Applications should be for projects that address shared local priorities and meet identified needs of the local community.
Joint applications are strongly encouraged.
The lead applicant must be a town or parish council. Registered charities, voluntary/community organisations, social enterprises and faith groups may apply but must do so via a town or parish council.
Claims for payment of £5000 and above will now be required to be backed up with the relevant invoices.
Larger projects may require a mentor to help oversee delivery of the project.

There will be two funding rounds

September 2017: Applications must be submitted by 4pm on Friday 22nd September with payments by the end of October.
February 2018: Applications must be submitted by 4pm Friday 2nd February with payments by the end of March.

Descisions on grants will be made shortly after these dates.
