Economy and Culture Community Grant Aid
The County Council's grant aid scheme is designed to assist the aspirations of voluntary organisations and individuals. It is awarded twice a year and is designed to complement funding from other sources.
To find more information about funding, eligibility and application dates please see the Downloads and Table tabs.
The funding round for March 2012 is now open, new Application Forms are available for download using the 'Downloads' tab above
Open to any non-profit making voluntary and community sector organisation, Parish or Town Council operating within the framework of a constitution.
Unfortunately this funding is not available to commercial businesses.
**IMPORTANT INFORMATION**
LCC Projects now align to the Cultural Strategy rather than the previous Sustainable Community Strategy. Please refer to guidance notes and application forms for full details.
As a result, we no longer fund Community Activities with a non-cultural focus. Please contact at LCC for details of other possible funding streams.
Levels of funding, annual deadlines, eligibility categories, district partnership funding and application submission documentation. Please refer to individual funding pages for detail.
We are also piloting a new electronic Award Pack for Awardees and request that where possible all applications are submitted electronically.
PLEASE DO NOT HAND DELIVER TO COUNTY OFFICES, LINCOLN AS WE ARE NO LONGER LOCATED AT THIS SITE
