Apply for a grant
To apply for a grant from the fund you must be a non-profit organisation, looking to carry out a project in the Channel Islands to benefit the local community.
A project may take the form of an event or exhibition. Applications for grants up to £5,000 will be considered. The budget of your proposed project should not exceed the sum of £20,000.
The Skipton Community Fund committee meet on a quarterly basis to review applications. Applications are currently in review. You can apply now until 12 October 2023 to be considered for the next quarter of funding.
Please note that the committee's decision is final once reviewed and voted. Please provide as much information as possible to ensure the committee is able to make a sound decision. We ask that you give descriptive details of costs, goals of the project and future expectations for fundraising in order to complete a larger project.
Skipton is unable to provide grants to any of the following:
- Commercial organisations, commercial galleries, commercial enterprises, and exhibitions with a commercial slant or individual artists’ commercial projects.
- Projects serving only specific sectors of the community based on ethnic, racial, political or religious grounds.
- Projects that may be construed as discriminatory.
- Day to day running costs for a prolonged period of time.
- Projects with no community element.

- There must be at least two months from the date of your application to your proposed project.
