GRANTS & DONATIONS

Riston Parish Council allocates a portion of its budget each year (after covering costs) to provide support to local groups and organisations.

This is discretionary grant funding and may be made under section 137 Local Government Act 1972 (s.137 LGA 1972) or through other statutory provisions.

Grant funding will be made against a series of criteria, which will include the available budget, the proposal for the use of funding and the benefit to Riston Parish and its residents.

The Council will oversee the budget and the grant awarding policy, they may also set priorities for grant awarding. Budget setting and sign-off of grants will be made by full council.

The budget for grant funding will be set as part of the budget and precept setting processing for the new financial year. This usually happens in January.
