Step one: Complete your application form

• How you propose to raise the rest of the money needed, including details of fundraising activities and details of any other applications to grant making trusts, bodies or organisations.
• You or your club, its role, purpose and finances.
• Your organisation, how many members you have, and how many are Letchworth Garden City residents.
• The event, its date, venue, how you will promote it and the number of people likely to benefit.
• Any equipment costs with quotations from at least two suppliers.
• The level of grant you would like us to consider.
