APPLYING FOR GRANTS

PRINCIPLES

In awarding grants, the Trustees will apply the following principles: 

  • Applications from any geographical area within Britain and the EU are eligible for consideration.

  • All applications from previous recipients of grants or from previously unsuccessful applicants will be considered by the Trustees on their own merits.

  • The Charity will willingly work in partnership with other organisations to fund initiatives beyond the financial scope of a single organisation.

  • Some grants made by the Charity will be made on the condition that the Charity's grant is matched by funding from another organisation.

  • Grants may only be used for the project and use set out in the application unless prior written approval has been given by the Trustees for an alternative use.

EXCLUSIONS

The Trustees will not normally approve the use of the Charity's funds for: purposes for which the government has a statutory responsibility to provide; expeditions; and individuals and organisations raising funds to give to another individual or organisation.

 

SIZE OF GRANTS

The grant size can vary according to the project and the level of need.

GRANT APPLICATION PROCESS

All applications must be made in writing and sent to:

Applications should include:

  • details of the purpose of the application

  • the details of the project (including duration, aims, current status and current funding)

  • the way in which the grant will be used and how it will be managed effectively.

Due to the number of grant applications anticipated, only successful applicants will be notified of the outcome of their grant application. Successful applicants will be notified within 6 weeks of the Trustee meeting at which their application was considered.
