Not Eligible

Thank you for taking the time to consider a Wiltshire Community Foundation grant application.


Unfortunately, your responses indicate that your organisation, you, or your plans do not fit our eligibility criteria so we will not accept an application.  To be fair and transparent for all applicants, we apply our eligibility criteria strictly and cannot change them for your circumstances. If you are a new group in the process of setting up a constitution or committee or opening a bank account and would like to discuss making an application please call us.


If you are a local voluntary group you may find information on other sources of grants through our e-bulletin or from the national database www.myfundingcentral.co.uk.  Funding advice is available from Wessex Community Action or Voluntary Action Swindon.
