Grants

The City of Ely Council allocates a sum of money each year, which can be applied for by voluntary/charitable groups and local organisations, not for profit organisations or community interest companies, but not from individuals. These grants are provided under Local Government powers, one of which is the Local Government Act 1972, Section 137. The group/organisation must benefit the parishioners of the City of Ely and the project/activities should take place within the parish of Ely, to allow funding to be considered. The parish of Ely comprises of Ely and the villages of Prickwillow, Stuntney, Chettisham, Queen Adelaise and Shippea Hill.

Please note that Local Government Regulations do not permit the award of grants to individuals.  Grants will not be awarded to cover staff salaries.
