Application Process

The Trustees require all applicants to complete a one page application form which summarises their appeal (the forms are available in PDF downloads at the foot of this page). All sections of the form must be completed fully, it is not sufficient to refer to “see attached documents”. Applicants are also required to provide supporting information on approximately two A4 sheets in accordance with the following guidelines.

Applicants should:

  • State clearly who they are, what they do and whom they seek to help.

  • Give the applicant’s status, e.g., registered charity (applications can also be considered from not-for-profit organisations which are not registered charities).

  • Describe clearly the project for which the grant is sought answering the following questions:

  • What is the aim of the project and why is it needed?

  • What practical results will it produce?

  • How many people will benefit?

  • State what funds have already been raised for the project, and name any other sources of funding applied for.

  • Include a detailed budget for the project.

  • Ask for a specific amount.

  • Explain how the project will be monitored and evaluated.

  • Explain where on-going funding (if required) will be obtained when the Foundation’s grant has been used.

  • Include the organisation’s most recent accounts agreed by an Auditor or Independent Examiner. If these accounts show a significant surplus or deficit, please explain.

  • For overseas and large grants only, give the name and addresses of two independent referees i.e. people who can provide an assessment of your organisation's work but who are not directly involved with it. (Trustees of your organisation are not counted as being independent.)

Please keep the application as simple as possible and avoid the use of technical terms, acronyms and jargon. Please do not send DVDs or CD Roms.

The Foundation reserves the right to share the details of grant applications with other grant makers, unless the applicant expressly indicates otherwise when applying.
