Council Grants

Each year the Council gives grants to local organisations. The grants are usually fairly small, between £50 and £500, as the Council believes that the limited resources which are available should benefit as many people as possible. This includes but is not limited to groups that support vulnerable people, art/ culture, young people, reducing climate change, sport, heritage, outdoor spaces, health and wellbeing 

The Council will usually only consider grant applications for specific projects rather than a contribution towards ongoing or revenue costs.

Please download the application form for guidance notes:  grant application form.  For advice or to submit your grant application then please contact the council at: admin@dorchester-tc.gov.uk 

Grant applications are considered by the council's Management Committee at its meetings every other month. In order for the committee to consider your application, please submit your form at least two weeks before the Committee's meeting - that dates can be found in the council calendar.
