Shrewsbury Town Council operates a scheme which awards grants to local organisations to help them fund new projects or continued services.
It may also be used as match funding.
The council says applications must be from a properly formed group, club, committee or charity, which must show that the group has charitable or community aims whilst benefitting the residents of Shrewsbury.
Organisations will also need to show that they possess a constitution or a set of rules, a bank account and public liability insurance.
The council says all applications will be considered on their individual merits, but requests for more than £3,000 are unlikely to be successful.
The deadline for applications is 1pm on Friday, January 24, and will be considered by the council’s finance and general purposes committee on February 3.
Applicants need to be aware that if their project is selected for consideration at this committee meeting, representatives are expected to join the meeting to state their reasons why funding should be awarded and answer any questions about the project from councillors.
