Amber Valley Borough Council Community Grants
The Council receives many applications for financial assistance from community organisations each year.
Each application is considered on its merit and grants are awarded to organisations whose activities benefit the residents of Amber Valley.
Because there are limited resources available, we cannot guarantee to meet every grant request and community organisations should not assume continued funding from the Council.
Applications are invited from beneficiaries of grants in previous years, and from new applicants. The application form can be down loaded as a PDF file.
Applications are usually invited in April of each year with payments being made in July, following approval by Cabinet.
For further information please contact the Exchequer Section 01773 841618
