Community Fund: Costs

Cost Example

Section 6 of the online form asks you to provide details of the cost of your project. It will help your application if you can explain and show what funding is needed to complete your project. The aim of your cost breakdown is to show us that you have considered all of the costs needed to deliver your project

You must enter  at least one ‘Description of Item’,  and at least one ‘Grant Required’ figure and one ‘Your Match / Other Funding’ figure, even if the figure entered is 0.

Please  enter only numbers into columns (a) and (b) you don’t need £ sign
