Grant Aid Policy

Haverfordwest Town Council creates an annual budget for grants to support local projects, events or activities which contribute to the wellbeing of the town and its people. Applications should be submitted to the Town Clerk, who will check that the application is complete, including the submission of any and all supporting evidence required on the application form. Applications will first be considered at the Personnel, Policy and Finance Committee which will make a recommendation for a decision at the next Full Council meeting. There are two tiers of grant funding available to applicants by submission of the grant application form: Tier 1 – up to £500 Tier 2 – up to £3,000.

Who can apply? Applicants may be individuals, groups of individuals, or formally constituted organisations. “Organisations” may be unincorporated, or may be formally registered with a governing regulator such as the Charity Commission, the Community Interest Company Regulator or the Financial Conduct Authority. Applicants with a constitution will be required to submit their governing document as evidence in support of the application.
