Lending a hand for local projects
Through our Community Grant scheme, we enable local community groups to take an active role in caring for the Chilterns.
What can the grant be used for?
Quite simply we provide funding to help kick start projects with a community or conservation objective at their heart. We welcome applications from a wide variety of organisations; from residential and village societies to conservation groups.
How does the grant work?
Successful applicants qualify for £250 to support the cost of their project, though we have the flexibility to vary this at our discretion depending on the project.
To apply please complete the Community Grant Form, or contact our office directly.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/12″][/vc_column][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-4 vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_single_image image=”522″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Download community grant form[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-lg”][vc_btn title=”Download community grant form” shape=”square” color=”orange” align=”left” i_align=”right” i_icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-angle-right” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fchilternsociet.wpengine.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2016%2F10%2FCommunity-Grant-Form.pdf|||” button_block=”true” add_icon=”true”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” css=”.vc_custom_1473167036401{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: -1px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”527″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1473166959741{margin: 0px !important;padding: 0px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1474554196764{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;background-color: #deecd5 !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1474553973461{padding-top: 0px !important;}”][cs_icon icon_name=”bird_6″ extra_class=”deco-515-1″][cs_icon icon_name=”kite_3″ extra_class=”deco-515-2″][vc_column_text]
