BURGESSES' LAND SMALL GRANTS - WELSHPOOL AND SURROUNDING AREAS

CALLING ALL BRECON GROUPS

Brecon Rotary Community Chest Small Grants Scheme

The scheme is aimed at encouraging funding applications from local charities and other organisations supporting community life in and around Brecon which could benefit from a modest grant of up to £500.

Brecon Rotary intends to be very open-minded about the types of activities it will support so long as the project or programme responds to a community need in or within the catchment area of Brecon Rotary Club and meets its criteria on the giving of grants.

What the club will need to understand is exactly what the money will be used for, who will benefit from it and how much difference it will make.

Community Chest Grant Issue 3 is now open - Closing date for Applications for Issue 3 is Sunday 8th April 2018

Applications can now be found on the Rotary Club

The application process is quick and easy.

The grants are being allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Therefore, it is advisable to apply sooner rather than later.

Code of Fundraising Practice

The Code of Fundraising Practice and its associated Rulebooks for Street, Door and Private Site Fundraising outline the standards expected of all charitable fundraising organisations across the UK. The standards were developed by the fundraising community through the work of the Institute of Fundraising (IoF) and Public Fundraising Association (PFRA).

The Code and the rule books were formally transferred  to the Fundraising Regulator at its launch on 7th July 2016. Recommendations on changes to the Code are made by the Fundraising Regulator’s Standards Committee in consultation with fundraising stakeholders. Decisions to change the code are subject to approval by the Fundraising Regulator’s Board.

In October 2017 an ‘Introduction to the Code of Fundraising Practice’ webinar was recorded by the Institute of Fundraising and delivered by the Fundraising Regulator. This can be viewed here.

The Rulebooks for Street and Door to Door Fundraising are here

The Code of Fundraising Practice can be accessed in sections below or as a PDF document here; the Welsh version of the Code can be found here

Funding is not available for:

o Organisational overheads or running costs which the organisation would incur whether the project was running or not. However, consideration will be given to funding support costs incurred as a direct result of running the project.
