The first step for the grant seeker is to contact their Councillor to discuss their project or service. Some wards have two or more Councillors and the grant seeker should contact all of them for their support. If the project or service benefits people from more than one ward, the grant seeker should also contact the relevant Councillors for those wards.

The grant seeker is not required to wait for a response from their Councillor(s) prior to the submission of the application. The application form is available to for completion online on our website or by emailing grants@northdevon.gov.uk
