Grants From The Allen Grove Local History Fund

The Trustees wish to award a grant of £1,000 to encourage a particularly imaginative or innovative project which might not be able to proceed without the grant. Applications are invited for this grant, as well as for a number of smaller grants of around £200 to £400 each. The trustees of the Fund expect to have about £2,000 available for grants in 1999.

The late Allen Grove left a legacy to the Kent Archaeological Society to establish this fund to be used for the purposes of research, preservation and enjoyment of local history.

The trustees will consider applications for grants for any project with one or more of these purposes. Projects may be practical ones such as presentation, publication and education as well as research. Grants may be made to societies and groups as well as to individuals and are not restricted to members of the Kent Archaeological Society. Awards may not be announced until the summer or autumn of 1999.

Applications must be submitted, on the official application form, by the 31st March 1999. Application forms and further information may be obtained from the Hon. Secretary: Mr A. I. Moffat.
