Community Grant Scheme
The Community Grant Scheme provides a source of funding aimed at improving the quality of life for the residents of the Maldon District in accordance with the stated objectives of our Community Plan.

There are two types of grants available – Small Grants and Specific Project Grants. Only one grant will be awarded per financial year to any individual or organisation.

We can award grants of up to £5,000, and we can help to fund projects that enable people to benefit from improved:

community safety;
health, social care and housing;
transport and access;
education, training and employment;
environment and planning;
leisure and recreation.

We look forward to receiving applications from individuals and groups such as:

voluntary and non-profit making organisations,

village hall management committees.

Those eligible will either be based or living in the Maldon District, or providing services for residents of the District.

Historic Building Grant
The care and repair of a listed building is an important responsibility for its owner and can result in higher costs associated with using traditional materials and techniques.

Maldon District Council recognises that it can be appropriate, in some cases, to assist owners with these costs in acknowledgement of the listed status of their building.
