About our 2019 Grants

The Application Process

You must apply by completing our application form online via the website. Before completing the form, please read How to Apply and the Eligibility Requirements below.

Once we have received your application, together with any supporting documents, we will assess whether it complies with the Trustee’s guidelines.

Accepted applications are considered at committee meetings. Once the committee have made a decision, we will write to all applicants.

We receive many more applications than we unfortunately have resources for. Therefore, the number of applicants we are able to help is limited. Please bear in mind that the decision of the Committee is final.

As part of our decision-making process, we reserve the right to visit/call applying organizations to view the project first hand, or speak to those involved.

Please note, if your application is successful, you will be required to confirm receipt of your grant. Failure to do so within two weeks of receipt of a grant checks may result in your organization becoming ineligible to receive further grants for up to five years.
