Grants (Disbursements)

Introduction

If you are a representative of a not-for-profit organisation in Penn & Tylers Green that needs financial or other assistance to meet your objectives then P&TGRS may be able to help.

Every year P&TGRS determines its grant-giving budget for the coming year and welcomes applications for modest amounts of money to support local projects that meet its grant-giving criteria. The budget is established and runs from the start of each financial year.

Grant Process

Before completing our Grant Application Form, please contact us via our contact page to discuss your plans. If we think we can help you, we will encourage you to complete our Grant Application Form, which is available from here. When completed this should be sent to us together with background quotations and other supporting documents. Applications meeting the grant-giving criteria will be considered at the next Board Meeting of the Society.

Applications will be treated on a first come first served basis. In general, once the budget for a given year has been allocated no further awards will be made until the following year.

Applicants will be informed of the outcome of their application as soon as possible after the Board meeting.

Risks & Liabilities

In making grants, the Society will require the recipient organisation to accept all risks and liabilities associated with the activity being supported. This will be a condition of the grant.

Acknowledgement

Where appropriate, grant recipients will be asked to acknowledge and publicise P&TGRS support for the particular project, perhaps including a plaque on long term installations. After the project is complete a short report including photographs will be required that can be uploaded to the Society’s website.

P&TGRS is a registered charity and everything we do is for the local community, whether that be through financial donations or our volunteers giving their time to help in and around the village.
