There is no special
application form, but applications should be in writing; neither telephone
nor e-mail applications will be entertained.
Please supply clear details of:
• the need the intended project is designed to meet.
• the amount raised so far, with a breakdown of how much has been raised from
within the local community and how much from other grant making bodies or
other sources.
Please also supply where possible:
• your registered charity number (unless exempt eg
most churches) or, for unregistered organisations, a copy of your
constitution.
• accounts or budgets.
• An e-mail address for follow-up correspondence or application
acknowledgement would be helpful.
Please allow a couple of months for an acknowledgement. There is no need to include an SAE (if
acknowledgement of your application is required) if an e-mail address is
provided.
Please also try and be
concise. If you are new to grant
seeking, the Association of Charitable Foundations (ACF) produces a helpful free
downloadable booklet on how best to set out your
applications – go to “Applying to a Charitable Trust or Foundation”.
Whilst applications can be considered at any time, the bulk
are decided at our half-yearly meetings in mid-March and mid-October
of each year. Thus December / January / February and July / August /
September are probably the best times to submit applications.
