Application for funding is normally considered for capital and revenue costs and for both specific projects and for general running/core costs.
Grants are awarded for amounts from £250 and depend on a number of factors including the purpose, the total funding requirement and the potential sources of other funds including, in some cases, matching funding.
Applications will only be considered from voluntary organisations which are registered charities (that includes Industrial & Provident Societies) or are associated with a registered charity.
Grants will not normally be awarded to individuals.
Please see sections 2.5 and 2.6 of the Fund guidelines for full details on the areas of work normally considered within the Fund's policy and for those areas outside the policy.
A further application from an organisation will not normally be considered for a period of at least two years after completion of a previous grant (if your previous application was unsuccessful, this period is one year).
All applications to the Fund may be subject to independent review.
Please note that the Trustees will not consider more than one application from an organisation at any one meeting at a time.
