Under Section 137 of the Local Government Act 1972, Farmborough Parish Council has discretionary powers to award grants to local groups or organisations for “purposes, which may bring a direct benefit to the area or any part of it for some or all the inhabitants”. 

To be considered for a donation, applicants must complete an application form and return it to the Parish Council. 

Applications for grants can be made any time of the year, but are more likely to be successful if made by 31 December, as the Council reserves the right to grant limits in line with budget requirements and or required expenditure.

To apply, download a form or contact clerk@farmboroughparishcouncil.org.uk

Organisations which received a grant for 2024/2025 are required to provide a report to the Parish Council for the Annual Parish Meeting which will be held in Spring 2025. The reports should give details of how the grant money was spent and this will be taken into consideration when discussing new applications for 2025/2026.

New applications from village community groups and organisations are always welcome.
