Grants

Watford Borough Council operates a number of funding schemes, which aim to improve the life of residents in the town.

As well as an annual funding programme, which gives grants to local community groups, there is the Mayor's community fund and various home improvement grants.  Each funding programme supports themes from Watford's Community Plan.

3 YEAR FUNDING - this programme is available for volutary and community organisations that the Council wishes to fund on an ongoing basis using a three year programme supported by a Service Level Agreement (SLA). NOTE: this programme has now closed and will reopen towards the end of 2009 for funding to begin in April 2010.

ANNUAL FUNDING - will be allocated to voluntary and community organisations for a single year at a time of new projects that specifically address two of the Community Plan themes.

MAYOR'S FUND - this fund primarily supports and encourages community groups to participate in projects that contribute to making Watford a place where the town's public and local spaces are smart, clean, safe and accessible.

TOWN TWINNING - funding is available under this programme to support twinning projects between Watford and its five twin towns - Mainz, Nanterre, Novgorod, Pesaro and Wilmington.
