Harlow Council provides
financial support to local voluntary organisations through its
grant aid process. Financial support may only be given to local
(Harlow based) organisations that are;
- Properly constituted
- Have an elected committee
- Hold a bank account in the name of the organisation
- Are non-political
- Have, or are working towards, an equal opportunities
policy
Individuals are not eligible.
The Council is not able to fund political groups or
campaigns.
Organisations are invited to apply for a grant of up to a
maximum of £500 for a ‘Small Grant’ for established groups or up to
a maximum of £100 for a ‘Start Up Grant’ for new groups.
Priority will be
given to organisations:
Whose activities will
contribute to the achievement of the Council’s Strategic
Priorities:
- A clean, safe and sustainable environment
- A prosperous community
- Decent affordable homes
- A caring community with a higher quality of life
Whose activities provide additionality ie. they do not duplicate
the work being undertaken by the Council or any other agency, but
are complementary.

in the Spring of 2009
