Small Grants Fund
Thank you for your interest in our Small Grants Fund Grants. As part of the transition to West Northamptonshire Council we are aligning our grants to ensure that all policies and processes are streamlined throughout the whole of West Northants.
Due to this, the opening of the grants scheme for 2021-22 has been delayed and at this time we are unable to accept applications.
If you would like to be added to our notification list when the next funding round opens under West Northamptonshire Council, please complete an Expression of Interest Form.
