Last week we published details of two funding opportunities for community organisations in East Durham, the Holiday Hunger Scheme and the Community Organisations Capital Grants Fund (please see post dated Wednesday 21 June 2017).
We have now received further details about the Capital Grants Fund application process along with contact details:
A new fund offering financial support to community organisations
in East Durham has been launched.
The Community Organisations Capital Grants Fund has been set
up to specifically assist organisations in delivering projects that support the
aims of East Durham Area Action Partnership (AAP).
Community groups and organisations can apply for funding of
between £500 and £3,000 to pay for adaptations to community rooms or buildings
or for the purchase of equipment.
Shealagh Pearce, principal AAP coordinator, said: “Community
buildings are very often at the centre of the development and delivery of AAP
projects.
“A number of our initiatives, including job clubs, welfare
champions and lunch clubs, are already delivered through community buildings so
they really are key assets for us.
“If anyone is considering applying but is unsure if their
project is eligible I would urge them to get in touch.
“We are always more than happy to discuss applications and
offer any advice that we can.”
Grants are available to not-for-profit organisations based
in the East Durham AAP area.
There is no deadline for applications.
For further information about the scheme, contact East
Durham AAP on 03000 262 054 or email eastdurhamaap@durham.gov.uk
