Newark and Nottinghamshire Agricultural Society
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its stated focus is Nottinghamshire, and its work centres on agriculture and associated industry, including education, skills and personal development, so a project in that area that involves people learning or working in farming or related trades is the clearest fit.
- Total giving in the annual report is £5,000, which may include grants to individuals, and no grant range is published, so a modest request is safer than assuming a typical grant size.
- No application process is published, so make first contact by email at grants@newarkshowground.com to ask about the awards you have in mind.
- The information available does not say when it considers applications or how competitive it is, so do not assume a deadline or a particular success rate.
- Do not apply if your work is not directly involved in or pursuing its objective to promote agriculture and associated industry, as it does not fund individuals or organisations outside that.
