How to apply for support

We aim to make it easy for people to apply for support either through funding, support in fund raising, or the need for our skills set or expertise. In all cases, our decision making process will be transparent with a simple three stage process:

  • Please complete the application form below to give us sufficient details to consider your request for support.
  • If we believe we can offer support, we’ll invite you to speak with us to enable you to explain your project or initiative in more detail and allow us to ask any questions to get a better understanding.
  • The Foundation panel will assess your application and their recommendation will then be presented to the Foundation Trustees for approval. We will then contact you to let you know the outcome. If your request has been successful, we’ll arrange to meet and discuss next steps.

Please note that the Foundation Trustees meet quarterly in February, May, August and November. The deadline for applications to be considered at the meetings is the last day of the month before the next meeting i.e. 31 January, 30 April, 31 July and 31 October.
