The deadline to apply for Totnes Town Council Community Grants in 2025 has now closed. A total funding pot of £30,000 was available to support projects that make positive changes in the town and have been awarded as set out below.
The decision about the funding of any future rounds this financial year have yet to be decided. However, the process to apply for a grant is likely to be unchanged and is as follows. To apply for a grant, community organisations need to complete the simple form below, which asks for details on how the funds will be spent and the policy which includes details of eligibility and all supporting documents that need to be submitted. Projects that help meet the objectives set out in the Town Council’s 2024-29 Strategy will be prioritised. The grants are funded by a portion of the Council Tax that is collected from Totnes residents. Councillors allocate the available funding at the Full Council meeting and successful applicants will be informed after this date.
