RIN Small grants programme 2016-17
Guidance in Applying for a Grant
The Charity invites organisations and groups providing benefits for the residents of the ancient parish of Streatham* to apply to our small grants programme. This should be done using the accompanying application form. Please read the following notes before completing it.
The Charity considers applications and awards grants on an annual basis aiming to release up to £40,000 per annum; however, this is dependent upon its available financial resources in any given year. Each grant will be made on a one-off basis (though receiving a grant in one year does not stop you from making another application in the next year).
Grants awarded will generally range from £1000 up to £5000 (very occasionally larger amounts may be given)
Applications must be received by 30th November 2016 to be considered. Applicants will be informed, in writing in January 2017, of the outcome of their submission.
Please Note: The Charity is required by its constitution to provide grants only where the beneficiaries are (a) resident in the ancient parish of Streatham* and (b) in conditions of need, hardship or distress.
* The Ancient Parish of Streatham covers SW2, SW12, SW16, SW17, SE21, SE24 and SE27 residential postcodes. *
