Grants are made in the Community Services and Projects area. The pool of funds to be distributed annually varies, but is likely to be in the $5,000 range annually. The Board will award grants based on the amount of money available and the applicant pool. There may not be enough money to fund all grants, some groups may not receive a grant, and awards could be less than the amount requested. Grant requests must be $100-$599 for individual projects that support the community.
Grants applications submitted by persons from non-profit organizations, the school or committees of the Town may be from $100 to $1,200. (Please note that if you apply for and receive more than $600 total in grants you will be issued a 1099 which may impact your tax filing). Grant Applications are due April 1st. Please complete the following form to apply for a grant.
Groups may apply for more than one grant; please prioritize your applications (first priority, second priority, etc).

improve the Tinmouth Community (e.g. donation to the food shelf, donation to
the Plant Sale). (Larger amounts need to be returned to the TCF.) Grant funds shall be spent within 18 months of being awarded.
