Grants

Are you involved in a charitable or voluntary organisation working for the benefit of people in Aylesbury generally, or a particular community of our town?

If so, you may be able to apply for a grant from the Town Council. Grants of between £25 and £2000 can be awarded to support a project, event or service, or to purchase equipment to help your group provide services to its users.

The Town Council will fund up to 50% of the total cost of what you want to do. The other 50% can come from your own fundraising, existing resources, another grant from somewhere else or even possibly “in kind”.

Please click here for the application form or click here for the Grants Criteria. Information on other funding opportunities in Aylesbury is available by clicking here.
