Grants

Dorchester Town 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. Full application guidance notes are included with the grant application form.  A Word version of the form is available on request - contact admin@dorchester-tc.gov.uk
