Frequently Asked Questions
Information on Grants and Funding
Q:What types of grants are available?
A:Our grants are split
into two types:
- Strategic Grants provide funding
for a three-year period and are monitored by the relevant grant
lead during this period
- Community Grants fund 'one-off'
events or initiatives during a single year.
Q:What are the
grants for?
A:The purpose of the
grants is to fund VCS organisations that can deliver valuable
community services, such as activities for older people, community
transport provision and support for carers. The grants available
can be different in each round therefore we encourage organisations
to check the web pages in each round to see what is available.
Q:How
can you apply?
A:Details of specific
grants will be available on these webpages when each round of
funding is open for applications, be sure to check our web pages
reguarly for all the latest information.
Q:Why is the
Council funding the VCS through this process?
A:Worcestershire
County Council undertook a Best Value Review of its work with the
Voluntary & Community Sector in 2004. It was agreed that the
Shopping, Investing & Giving framework be put in place in
response to this review and its main purpose is to make the
whole funding process more transparent and robust.
