The Councillors' Community Fund can only support one-off projects and cannot be used to replace any withdrawn public funding or provide/imply any ongoing support. Applications can only be received from not-for-profit groups and organisations and not individuals.

Local Councillors have £1,000 for the 2024/2025 municipal year to spend on projects within their Wards. There is no lower limit but projects costing more than £1,000 could be supported by other Councillors combining monies if they wanted to.

Elections

No community fund grants will be paid or processed during scheduled Parliamentary, County, District, Town and Parish and the Police and Crime Commissioner elections in Teignbridge following the publication of the notice of election until the conclusion of that election;

• in a by-election of any Teignbridge Councillor serving a multi-member Ward, no Community Fund grants from other Members in that Ward will be paid or processed following the publication of the notice of election until the conclusion of that election; and
  
  
• in the event of a Parish by-election, no community fund grants will be processed from Councillors within the Ward for the benefit of the Parish which has the election, following the publication of the notice of election until the conclusion of that election.

The fund will close a few weeks prior to the publication of the Notice of Election to enable any outstanding grants to be processed and paid prior to the publication of the notice.

There will be Devon County Elections in May 2025 and therefore the 2024/25 fund will close at 6pm on Monday 24 February 2025.
