South Wiltshire Area Grants are for the benefit of local people and projects which are specific to a geographical area within the Salisbury District. You can apply for either a Major Grant or a Minor Grant under the SWAG scheme.

A Minor Grant is for modest projects up to £500 and a Major Grant is for anything over £500, but normally less than £5000, to help develop projects and initiatives based in Salisbury District.

You can apply for a grant if ............

We welcome applications from new groups. As new groups would not be able to provide a set of accounts for their last two years, we need instead an estimate of your income and expenditure for your first years.

You do not have to be a registered charity or recognised by the Inland Revenue to apply for a grant. We will check your eligibility as we review your application form.

Once the tranche has closed the applications will be assessed by Technical Officers.
