Match Funding?

Applicants will need to have matching funds, normally 50% or more of the total project cost. The LEADER grant cannot be released until you have this match funding in place.

What information do I need to supply with the community application?

You will need to supply a variety of information, details of which will depend on the nature of each project coming forward. Some examples might be: details of the community group and constitution, any planning permission or building warrant, estimates of equipment/services being provided, detailed proposals of the project including who is going to undertake the work, and letters of the community's own contribution and match funding being in place.
