Grants

The Royal Borough of Kingston has six different types of grant for local voluntary organisations.

Strategic Grants and Development Grants

Aimed at key voluntary organisations having a strategic role within the Borough which work with other agencies and lead on new developments. Longer term funding for up to three years will be considered for core running costs of the organisation, such as staffing costs, rent, equipment, training and transport.

One year Development Grants are sometimes awarded to organisations that have the potential to reach Strategic Grant status but have not yet reached the required standard.(The same application form and guidance notes are used for both Strategic and Development grants, we will decide which type of grant is more appropriate).

Project Grants

One year grants for organisations working on projects which meet or complement the Council's priorities and plans. Applicants are encouraged to speak to relevant Council Officers before applying to ensure their activities meet Council priorities. Amounts of between £750 and £3,000 are available.

Environmental Grants

One year grants for projects that meet the Council's priorities to tackle climate change, recycling and waste minimisation.

Small Grants

One-year grants for organisations applying for up to £750 which work across the Borough.

Neighbourhood Grants

Grants of up to £750 for organisations and projects which provide activities and services for the benefit of residents of one of the Borough's four Neighbourhoods:

Kingston
Maldens and Coombe
