£10,000 funding available for projects that benefit community infrastructure within Keynsham.
Keynsham Town Council is inviting local groups, charities and organisations to apply for a share of Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) funding for projects that improve community infrastructure within Keynsham.
*Community Infrastructure Levy is a proportion (15%) of the planning charge that B&NES Council receive from developers of new building projects in the Keynsham area.*
Key eligibility points:
• Projects must provide a clear benefit to the local community.
• Funding must be used for infrastructure or capital type improvements (not general running costs).
• Projects should align with local priorities and planning obligations.
• Applicants must demonstrate how the project will be delivered and managed.
• Some types of expenditure may not be eligible (see full policy for details).
Important This funding scheme is separate from the Keynsham Town Council Community Grant Awards, if you have applied for funding through the Community Grant Awards scheme but feel this opportunity is more in line with your request, please withdraw your application before you have received confirmation of award and re-submit through the CIL scheme. (Applicants can only apply for one scheme).
Residents are also encouraged to come forward and suggest infrastructure projects that could benefit from the scheme.
