Okehampton Town Council - Grant Applications

Okehampton Town Council has a budget for the award of grants supporting community organisations and groups to the benefit of the residents of Okehampton.  Grant applicants are also encouraged to apply to the Okehampton Hamlets Parish Council for funding.

The Council has allocated a sum of money for the 2026/27 financial year to cover grants, both large and small.  A selection of the recipients can be seen below and a full list of grants awarded can be found in the Annual Reports.  The procedure for applying for a grant can be found within the Grants Policy document below.

Grant applications are considered at meetings of the Policy and Resources Committee. Dates of meetings are posted on this website.

Grant applications must meet the criteria set out in the Grants Policy and applications for small grants only (not exceeding £400) must be made on the Town Council’s application form - see link below.  The form can also be obtained from the Town Hall.  Completed applications should be returned to the Finance Officer (accounts@okehampton.gov.uk).  Please ensure you read the policy and procedure before submitting a grant request.
