Before you start!

Please take a moment to read through these details which will explain how our on-line application system works.

  • When you click on the link, you will be asked to register, using your email address and a password of your choice: please remember to make a note of your password.
  • Once registered, you will be able to view all the questions if you wish before you start.
  • Through the form you will see the following options:
    • Save & Exit: click on this to finish your session for the time being. You will then need to log in again to retrieve the form and make any changes you want. NB You have not submitted your application yet! You can log in again going back through the eligibility filter to reach the link button, then entering your email address and the password you created when you first logged in
    • Previous: return to the previous page
    • Review: this shows all the information you have entered so far. To make any changes, scroll down to the bottom of the screen and select the Revise button.
  • We strongly recommend you read the Help information to the online questions, as it explains  the level of information we expect.  You will find this assistance by clicking the Help icon (shown as a ? next to the questions). 
  • You will be asked at the end of the form to upload a budget for the project: this needs to be for the total cost of the project, not just the amount you are requesting from us.
  • You will also be asked to upload your latest annual accounts.
  • Note: you can upload the budget and the accounts as a Word document, Excel spreadsheet, PDF or jpeg file.
  • Once you have made all the changes you want to, go to the Review screen and scroll down where you find two options:
    • Revise: carry on making changes
    • Complete: this will submit your application and no further changes can be made.

When you submit

You will receive an automatic email telling you the form has been sent to us.  Please don’t reply to the email – we don’t monitor the email address.

What happens to your Application

When you click the ‘Complete’ option on the on-line application form, your application will be imported to our database and you will receive an automatic email confirmation. It may take us up to 3 weeks from the date you submit an application to read it and make an initial assessment.  

We will :

  • check that you have fully completed the form and uploaded a budget and your latest annual accounts
  • we may ask you for additional information to enable us to fully understand your work
  • if your application is not eligible, we will let you know by email.

How decisions are made

If you have applied for a Small Grant we will inform you of  Trustees’ final decision within 8 weeks of the  receipt of your application. You will receive an electronic letter with the outcome of your application. This is a rolling programme and there are no deadlines.
