Grant Conditions

Awarding a grant

In accordance with the original Trust Deed there are a number of terms and conditions that are strictly adhered to.

• All grants are awarded at the sole and absolute discretion of the Trustees.
• Every grant has to be for the benefit of the townspeople of Bourne - including Dyke, Cawthorpe and Twenty. The Trust regrets that it is absolutely precluded from assisting any other local parishes or indeed any other charitable cause where the benefit of a grant would not substantially accrue within the Trust’s area of benefit.
• The Trustees are unable to support applications for projects that replace actual or potential funding from any government, local government, health authority or any other statutory agency.
• Similarly a grant will not be approved if it would create precedence for the removal of current funding to similar organisations.
• Grants are not made to individuals.
• Once awarded; and at the end of any 12 month period, a Monitoring and Evaluation form has to be completed.

Applicant's notes

Please read all guidance notes carefully. Please do not hesitate in contacting the Trust to discuss your proposed application prior to any submission.
