Aims of Funding
March Town Council aims to promote the development of community, social, cultural and sport opportunities within the area of March. To this end, the Council offer grants to local organisations based in, or providing services to the locality of March to help them maintain and develop their services, facilities, and activities.
Organisations that believe that they meet the criteria must complete the Application Form and will be eligible for consideration on a quarterly basis, one application per year.
At the March Town Council Meeting of 5 October 1992, Councillors resolved to adopt consistent criteria in the allocation of grants/donations to charitable and voluntary organisations giving priority to individuals or organisations offering voluntary aid to promote the development of sport, cultural and social opportunity within the area of March.
If you are or know a March organisation that could do with some financial help, please see the guidance below to check whether you meet the criteria, and if yes, please submit a grant request.
Specific Grants
These are made to established organisations that benefit people within the local community and are considered by members/councillors when the budget is set.
In addition to grants and donations, local organisations can benefit from financial support from the Mayors Charities Fund.
