Grants

Our Grants Scheme is designed to support local community organisations, charities, Social Enterprises and Community Interest Companies delivering services, projects and events within Penrith.

We will consider one application per organisation each financial year (1st April to 31st March) but will not consider applications from individuals.

It is recommended that applicants thoroughly read the Council’s Grants Scheme before making an application and where necessary contact the Economic Development Officer for advice.

The Council will not fund salaries, hospitality, religious organisations (except for non-religious activities), core school expenditure or projects with party political links.

Ready to apply?

To apply for a grant download the appropriate form, complete it in Microsoft Word and email it with the required accompanying documents to: office@penrithtowncouncil.gov.uk

The Council will score applications using information from the application form based on achieving outcomes, value for money, strong governance and fitting with the Council’s strategic aims. More information is provided in the Grants Scheme.
