Sustaining Grants

This pamphlet argues that grant aid is an essential part of the local funding mix for community organisations and remains essential for thriving local communities. We hope that this pamphlet will be used by local community groups, councillors, grants officers and others to:

• Promote the benefits of an active community and voluntary sector
• Inform discussions about how to support community initiatives and social cohesion
• Maintain or increase grant funding
• Deliver improved outcomes in a local area in line with their priorities and aspirations

This publication is available in a variety of formats, including a partially editable word version. The case study sections of this version can be edited to add local examples to make this more relevant to a local audience.
