HOW TO APPLY
FOR FUNDING

What Happens Next?

If using the online application form is difficult for you, we can send a paper copy of the form, which can be handwritten, but please use black ink as these are photocopied.

If our trustees shortlist your application, we will ask you to provide additional documentation as specified on the form. Groups that are yet to produce their first accounts or prepare very brief accounts, we will ask you to provide summary of major sources of income and main expenditure categories in your own format.

Many groups who apply for funding are visited by us, but we may simply phone for more information. Decisions about which projects to fund are made by the Trustees who meet 5 or 6 times a year. As a general rule, you should allow 3 to 5 months for a decision to be made.

All applications are acknowledged. Unfortunately we cannot help every group that applies for a grant, even though the project may fall within the criteria.
