Applying for your LMIS grant

How can I apply?

The application process is very easy,  but please spend just a minute reading the information below.  Then download the forms attached and send to your county councillor.

Points to be aware of:

• Applications for funding for proposals must be made to your local county councillor, who will choose which applications to put forward to the county council for consideration, following appropriate consultation.
• Your county councillor may decide to recommend spending all of their LMIS allocation in any one year on one project, or choose to support a number of proposals.
• Your county councillor may decide to recommend spending all or any proportion of their LMIS allocation at any time before the final deadline. You, therefore, may want to enquire before you make any application about whether or not your local county councillor has allocated the money.

Important: Where an application is for funding which is less that the total cost, the county council will be unable to pay a grant unless the balance of the funding has been raised or secured.  If your county councillor wishes to recommend funding which is less than you have asked for, he/she will want to know from you how you will raise or secure any shortfall between what he/she is prepared to recommed and the amount requested.

Two or more county councillors may agree on a joint proposal for all or part of their LMIS allocations, for a scheme (or schemes) which will jointly benefit their electoral Divisions.
