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.
Applications should be addressed to Philip J Stoate, Secretary, and sent to:
