Awarding a grant

• Every grant must be for the benefit of the townspeople of Bourne - including Dyke, Cawthorpe and Twenty.
• Grants are only payable to registered charities, and local community organisations and certain other support groups who can assist individuals with small hardship grants.
• 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.
• Once awarded; and at the end of any 12 month period, an Evaluation form has to be completed.

How the Charity considers an application

The Trust meets on a monthly basis and all eligible applications are put before the Trustees. Every application is evaluated and any subsequent queries arising are followed up as required.

Smaller grants of up to £1000 may, at our discretion, be approved before a full meeting of trustees.
