Funding Information
You can apply for a maximum of £5,000 and there must be match funding available of at least twice the amount of the funding from other sources plus local fundraising. So, for a grant of £5,000 you would need to show that you can obtain £10,000 from elsewhere.
Grants are available of between £1,500 and £5,000, but they will only contribute up to third of total project costs. You would need to find a minimum of the other two thirds of your project costs from elsewhere. This means the total minimum costs for the whole project would need to be £4,500. Total project costs cannot exceed £750,000.

Eligibility Criteria
This grants scheme is open to all multi-use community buildings within Parish Council areas covered by East Devon District Council. Community shops in Parish Council areas can also apply.
Community buildings and community shops that are within an area covered by a Town Council are not eligible to apply. So if your community building or community shop is in an area covered by Budleigh Salterton Town Council, Exmouth Town Council, Ottery St Mary Town Council, Axminster Town Council, Seaton Town Council, Honiton Town Council, Sidmouth Town Council you cannot apply.
Community buildings must be multi-use (minimum of three separate user groups), with open community access, and owned and / or managed by the community.
You must have permission from all the relevant bodies to carry out the project before you apply. For example, if the Parish Council owns the building then you must have their permission before you apply.
You can’t apply if you have heard you have been successful for a Community Buildings Grant from them within the last two years.
You must have three written quotations for the works which you must submit with your application, or a good reason why three written quotes are not possible.
Please ensure that your match funding is in place before applying to them. As a rule this grants scheme operates as a final funder and will normally refuse applications where all other funding is not in place. Please be aware that other organisations and authorities may have different timescales for their grants schemes.
