Hertfordshire County Council

Members locality budget

Each Hertfordshire county councillor has £5,000 a year to give as grants to local projects that promote the social, economic or environmental wellbeing of their area. Non-profit organisations, including charities and unincorporated associations with a bank account, can ask for up to the councillor's £5,000 budget. You must get your county councillor's agreement before applying online; the councillor then recommends whether the grant is made.
