The Mayor’s Small Grant Fund
For organisations with an annual turnover of £21,000 or less.
You can apply for grants of up to £300 for the Mayor’s Small Grant Fund. There is no deadline; grants are awarded throughout the year until the money runs out.
Please use the Small Grant Fund application form below to apply.
Community Grants
This fund is for applications of up to £3,000 from groups and organisations who can demonstrate:
- How the project will support FTC’s ambition ‘to build a town that is environmentally sustainable, inclusive, and prosperous with a community that is more resilient, happier, and better able to shape its own future.’
- A need for the project / existing gap in provision.
- A direct positive impact for Frome residents.
- How the project will be financially sustainable in the long term, independent of FTC funding.
The Community Grants programme will now be held once annually. The process will now involve an expression of interest stage, an opportunity to submit a full application and the decision-making stage.
Please check back for the next grants application information, submission forms, and terms and conditions.
