NI Policing Board: Police Property Fund Grants Scheme
Overview
What is the Fund?
The Police Property Fund is made up of assets recovered by the PSNI as a result of criminal investigations, and administered by the Board in line with the Police (Property) Regulations NI 1997. The Policing Board agreed to implement the Fund through a Small Grants Scheme (80% of available Funds) and a Large Grants Scheme (20% of available Funds).
To date the Board has progressed two Small Grants Funding Calls which have seen almost £320,000 awarded to eligible projects across Northern Ireland and a third call for Small Grants has been ongoing since June 2024.
Funding Level
This call for applications will award a total of £150,000 in large grants of between £20,000 and £30,000 to eligible projects.
Eligible projects
Applications for funding will need to demonstrate that the project
- is strategic in nature
- engages with local police
- contributes to building community safety and/or confidence in the police in your area
- is aligned to a charitable purpose
In addition, all applications for assistance under the Police Property Fund will be considered in line with the following conditions:
- The organisation must be legally constituted (a copy of the organisation’s constitution should be included with the application for support); and
- Organisations must be financially stable and have sufficient accountability and controls (a copy of the most recent official accounts must be submitted by successful projects in advance of receipt of a Letter of Offer.)
