Funding opportunity for community projects in Guildford
Projects could receive £25,000
Local community projects in Guildford can apply for funding support from the borough council through a Crowdfund Scheme.
Guildford Borough Council are looking for a range of projects - including those that help vulnerable groups, make rural areas better and improve wellbeing.
People can find out more in a free workshop on the 16 July.
Standard projects can receive up to £5,000, with larger capital projects getting a maximum of £25,000 worth of funding from the council. With larger projects, for every pound they raise, they can get up to £25,000 more to support their ideas or up to 50% of the total project fundraising target.
