Two funding categories are available, with grants of up to £200 for individuals and up to £1,000 for community groups.
Requests will be considered towards projects, schemes or courses that will enhance the educational, sporting or cultural advancement of an individual.
Those from groups will be considered to assist community-based organisations with projects or activities that will benefit the Starbeck area.

Councillor Pat Marsh, who represents the Stray, Woodlands and Hookstone division on North Yorkshire Council and sits on the grants panel, said: “Starbeck residents take great pride in their community and grants like this help to further improve the area in which they live.
“I would encourage people to once again make the most of this opportunity and submit their applications for funding as soon as possible.”
The deadline for applications is 4.30pm on Monday 24 July.
