Councillor Priority Fund
The fund supports councillor priorities in their local areas.
The Councillor Priority Fund closed on 30 November 2024. Applications are no longer being accepted.
All grant applications that were received before the deadline will be considered.
Paying of grants
We aim to pay all eligible grant applications within 28 days, this time may be extended if we need to contact grant applications for additional information or if we have queries about your application. All applicants are strongly encouraged to read the guidance document (pdf format, 180Kb) to ensure their project meets the funding criteria
Monitoring
Successful applicants are expected to comply fully with any monitoring requests from the council and must agree to this when signing the funding request form.
All successful applicants need to be prepared for a review of their project.
This may include:
- Receipts recording how the money was spent
- Reports on the activity funded
- Feedback from individuals impacted
- Any other record of the activity funded (e.g. promotional flyers and posters)
Successful applicants will be strongly encouraged to keep us informed about the progress of their projects. Any setbacks to the implementation of the projects should be reported to the Policy Team. Delivery of the projects will be monitored as per milestones identified in the business case/ project proposal.
Any unspent grant funding will be recovered by the county council.
