Core Funding Service
The Core Funding service is one of the ways in which Reading Borough Council makes resources available to the voluntary sector. The Council seeks to give financial assistance to voluntary and community groups in order to help them run projects and provide services for the benefit of Reading residents.
- Core funding grants are awarded on an ongoing basis to voluntary-run organisations as a contribution towards general running costs. This enables the groups to provide a valuable service for Reading Borough Council to the residents of Reading.
- Grants are awarded as a priority to groups that meet the Council's corporate targets and strategic and service priorities.
- All organisations have a service agreement in place that outlines the work that is supported by the grant.
- Discretionary Rate Relief may be available to voluntary organisations that occupy rateable premises, please contact the VSSU to discuss eligibility.
- Core funding grants criteria and priorities apply to discretionary rate relief, and awards are made through the same process.
Deadline
The Core Funding Grants deadline for the financial year 2010-2011 has now closed. There is an annual deadline and the next one will be early October 2010.
