Mae mwy na 1,200 o gynghorwyr wedi'u hethol i 22 o brif gynghorau yng Nghymru. Yn ogystal â rhoi cymorth i ymgeiswyr sy'n ceisio cael eu hethol i brif gynghorau, bydd y gronfa hefyd ar gael i gefnogi ymgeiswyr sy'n ceisio cael eu hethol i gynghorau cymuned a thref yn yr etholiadau llywodraeth leol. Gyda mwy nag 8,000 o gynghorwyr yn cael eu hethol i 735 o gynghorau cymuned a thref yng Nghymru, bydd y gronfa hon yn darparu mwy o gyfleoedd i bobl anabl gael eu cefnogi yn eu nod o gymryd rhan mewn democratiaeth leol er mwyn cefnogi eu cymunedau. Mae hyn yn allweddol i gynyddu amrywiaeth mewn democratiaeth.
