Community Chest Project – Terms and Conditions

About funding for our community

The ‘Community Chest Project’ is the name for the total annual sum of £4,000 set aside by the Emsworth Residents’ Association.

Who can apply?

Any group, charity, school or voluntary group inside Emsworth’s boundaries, Hermitage and Thorney are welcome. The Community Chest Project is very keen to support grass-roots activity.

There are areas that we can’t fund

There are certain types of work and organizations that the Project does not fund:

• Grants for the benefit of one individual
• Medical research or hospitals
• Churches or other religious bodies where the monies will be used for religious purposes
• Work where there is statutory responsibility to provide funding
• Profit-making organizations

The application process is straight forward

Applicants can apply for a sum up to £1000 per project. So just fill in the form here: Application Form Community Chest

We’ll look at your application carefully. A maximum of three applicants are shortlisted each quarter, with each group receiving a share of the £1,000. The three shortlisted applicants are notified. We let people know straight away when their project is successful.

Each sum awarded is presented at our QGMs and supported by attendees.

It sounds complicated – it isn’t.

Applicants warrant that they have truthfully and accurately completed the application form.
