Guidance Notes:
- Grants must result in a clear benefit to individuals or groups from Kenilworth or the immediate area;
- Strong preference will be given to funding “one off” costs for specific items or activities, rather than covering operational running costs;
- The Club may exceptionally provide 100% funding but will normally expect the applicant to raise an element of “matched funding” from elsewhere;
- If the applicant has yet to raise sufficient money to achieve the intended outcome the Club may issue a certificate in the form of a “pledge” committing the Club to making the agreed payment once the total amount has been raised. Such a pledge will normally be valid for twelve months;
- Grants will not be provided to support any national charity activities unless there is a direct, immediate and obvious benefit to the people of Kenilworth;
- Grants will not be provided to anyone raising funds to donate onwards to any local or national charity;
- Applicants may be asked to discuss their proposal with members of the Club’s Community Services Committee if further clarification is needed;
- Wherever appropriate, Kenilworth Lions Club may publicise the outcome of any grant through local media to help facilitate its future fund-raising activities;
- Successful applicants may be invited to a meeting of the Club to talk about their completed project;
- If necessary, please attach any additional information in support of your application;
- You will receive an emailed copy of your application when submitted.
