community activity through grants to local groups and organisations. Within these broad objectives there is some variation between foundations.
Some foundations have criteria with a focus on social need and opportunity, whilst others have more specific themes, generally reviewed every three years. Some community foundations have a large number of funds from which to make
grants.They will either advise you on the most appropriate fund to apply to, or have a common application form for all their funds. The grants adviser at your local community foundation is there to help you through the application process. The Landfill Communities Fund can
prove a useful a source of money for some organisations to carry out certain types of environmental projects. A company, trust, charity or club can apply for funding for certain types of projects. Clubs can get funding from Band D, which funds projects that develop communities using recreation and sports that are within ten miles of a landfill site.
This funding can be accessed two ways.
Either by going straight to a landfill operator in your area (more difficult route) or by going to an environmental body who distribute landfill tax funds. These organisations are invariably trusts and either operate on a localised or a national basis. Each has its own funding priorities, but most seem to offer support in completing the application and they can fund anywhere from £500 - £100,000. The Biffaward Scheme is similar to the
previous, and can offer money for regeneration if there is a landfill site within ten miles. If eligible, you can then enter the application process on their site. The only slight issue with this type of funding is that some environmental bodies, which distribute funds, also require you to register with Entrust as an environmental body. Entrust, the regulatory body for the scheme, provide good support for you to do this and most clubs would have suitable constitutions to do so. The application costs £100. The Biffawards are an example of a trust that requires applicants to be environmental bodies. Other organisations, such as
Eventure Ltd and Onyx Enviro Trust, do not and will help you more with the application.
One avenue often overlooked is local authority funding, either through county, city, borough, district and parish councils. Despite budget cuts, money is still out there, so it’s well worth getting in touch. Nearly all local authorities have departments dealing with the development of recreation and leisure. Substantial grants are available through county councils or city councils. Typically, the sort of help they offer is
through grants and loans to help capital projects, such as developing buildings, pitches and land purchase, revenue grants for improving or restoring existing property, purchasing equipment or running major sports development initiatives or participating in sports kite marking schemes, and grants for talented performers to help towards the cost of competition or training.
Whilst not strictly grant aid, local authorities can help reduce the burden of overheads through Rate Reduction Relief,
