Grants - how to apply  

The Council's Policy for Grants and Loans has been revised and is effective from 1st April 2017.

Henley Town Council has a budget of £10,000pa for awarding community grants (up to and including £2,500) to local organisations.
Grant applications will not be considered unless accompanied by financial information requested under Section 10 of the Community Grant Application Form.
Please note that applications for community grants are considered by the Finance Strategy & Management Committee twice a year (February/March and September) and cannot be for retrospective expenditure, ie expenditure must take place after the meeting at which the application is to be discussed.

To ensure applications are included on the relevant agenda they must be received at the Council Offices at least three weeks before the committee dates.  For 2018-19 the Finance Strategy and Management Committee will be considering grants on 4 September 2018 and 12 February 2019.
