We appreciate the time and effort it takes to apply for funding, and we’re committed to making the process as clear and worthwhile as possible. While our funding rounds are highly competitive, we carefully consider each application on its own merits.
Here are a few common reasons applications may not progress:
If your project is unlikely to continue beyond our funding due to limited volunteer support or financial sustainability, it may not meet our criteria. We’re looking to fund initiatives that create lasting change, not ones that end when the grant does.
If our grant would form only a small part of a much larger fundraising target, it can be difficult for us to see the specific, transformational difference our funding would make.
If you’ve received a grant from us through the Small Grant Programme within the past 12 months, you’ll need to wait until that grant has closed before applying again.
Please take time to review the eligibility criteria for each fund carefully before applying. This will help ensure your application aligns with our priorities and has the best chance of success. Ensure your supporting documents are emailed to us and you clearly provide the following:
Supporting Documents required:
•One year of audited or independently examined published accounts (signed by your Trustees and auditor/examiner) or Receipts & Payments accounts for smaller organisations which should be signed by your Treasurer
•Most recent bank statement relating to bank account details provided on form
•Most recently reviewed Safeguarding policy - your policy must show clearly that it is within review date
•Most recently reviewed Equality & Diversity policy - your policy must show clearly that it is within review date
•Governing Document or Set of Rules for smaller organisations. If you are part of a larger national organisation that provides a blanket governing document, please also submit your own set of governing rules.
If your application is unsuccessful, you’re welcome to reapply in a future funding round.
