The fund is open to all voluntary, charitable or benevolent groups based in - or having significant user numbers in - the Swansea area, and awards grants to successful applicants up to a maximum of £5,000. Priority will normally be given to revenue funded schemes, however capital schemes will be considered, especially where they can show that other funding has been secured. There is no set closing dates for applications. If sufficient funds are available, the trustees panel sits twice a year.
