3. Supporting social enterprise
4. Introducing quality standards
Your project
should also embrace at least one of the following:
• Equal access for disabled people;
• Environmental benefits;
• The development of equal opportunity and environmental
policies and practices;
• Involvement of all members of the community;
• Improvement to the provision and understanding of
Information Technology;
• The recognition and celebration of culture and heritage
and the encouragement of the development of bi-lingual, multi-lingual
and multi-cultural communities;
• Development of capacity through training;
• Improvements to the well-being of the community.
Both capital
and revenue costs will be considered.
WHO
CAN APPLY?
Your group can apply for a grant from the CAVO Enterprise
and Improvement Grant Scheme if you:
• are a not-for-profit group;
• have a constitution or set of rules;
• have a bank or building society account in the name
of your group which requires at least 2 signatures;
• are working in and involving people from Ceredigion,
or if outside the area, the activity must be of direct benefit
to Ceredigion.
During the assessment
of your application, the following criteria will be considered:
• Your project meets at least one of the four primary
criteria
• How your group is set up and managed;
• Whether your application supports community action;
• Who will benefit from the grant;

HOW
MUCH CAN WE APPLY FOR?

for non-recurring (one-off) funding.

Match
Funding
100% of the total cost of your project may be eligible for
funding. Match funding is not a requirement, however particular
interest will be shown in projects that use a CAVO grant to
secure further funding.
If the CAVO Enterprise and Improvement grant is to be used
as match funding, the funding package must be in place within
three months of the award being made.
