Grange Farm Centre
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Grange Farm Centre's purpose is recreation and leisure, and its themes are recreation, leisure and sport, so a project that gives the community leisure or recreational benefit fits its remit.
- Its grants go to organisations rather than individuals, and its website describes Community Funding and Sports Funding for projects across London and surrounding areas.
- Its grants are for inhabitants of the Metropolitan Police District and the part of the District of Epping Forest in the County of Essex that is not included in the Police District, so an organisation whose beneficiaries live elsewhere should not apply.
- The annual report records £72,499 awarded in its most recent year, and its wider figures give grants of £100,000 to £150,000 a year to 20 to 30 organisations, but no grant range is stated, so contact the Clerk about the likely size of a request before you write.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and they are checked for compliance with the area of benefit and the Charity's objects, so confirm that your project meets both before you apply.
