The "G8 Grants" Committee is now seeking applications for funding for "Stage 1" grants in England and Wales. Separate information will be sent out for grants in Scotland.
The application process is simple and the criteria for grants are kept as basic as we can!
HURRY - the deadline is 29 August 2011.
Rewarding Early Campaigning
If you have elections in May 2012, we will give you a grant for the work you are already doing - we just want you to start early!
To be eligible for a grant we will need to see most of the following in place:
- delivery of literature has been taking place in summer 2011, and a literature plan in place up to the elections.
- knocking on doors has been taking place in summer 2011, and that a plan of knocking on doors, and phoning voters is in place up to the elections
- a candidate is in place, or you are well on track towards getting a candidate in place as early as possible
- you have agreed a clear and realistic strategy across the authority for the 2012 elections, and which wards will be targeted.

Help to Attend Kickstart (2013 and 2012)
If you have elections in May 2012 OR May 2013 (the English Counties and Unitaries) then we will help people attend the Kickstart Training Weekend in November.
We are keen to support campaign teams to develop their skills and ensure they have the right plan in place to win in 2012 and 2013. We will be providing grants to pay for 50% of the cost of attending the important Kickstart Training weekend 25-27 November 2011 in Birmingham. Priority will be given to teams who don't have the group funds available to pay for this and the limit is two subsidised places per authority area.
