Application deadline
Monday 12 October 2020.
Apply
To start a new application for this programme, please use the ‘new applications’ link below. You will be asked to log in to the online portal, or register if you have not previously used it, with your email address and a password.
Following registration, you will need to complete a short series of questions to ensure your organisation is eligible to apply. This is designed to save time for prospective applicants. If your answers do not meet the eligibility criteria, you will be able to recomplete the eligibility questions if appropriate (for example, if an initial answer was submitted in error).
After successfully completing the eligibility questions, you can then access the full online application form, answer questions about your organisation and project, and upload supporting documents.
The application form can be saved and revisited on an ongoing basis. It does not need to be completed at one time. To return to a saved application form, please use the ‘existing applications’ link below.
Decisions
Following a thorough selection process, we aim to notify all applicants whether they have been selected for a grant by December 2020.
Due diligence
All grantees must then complete a CAF verification check to ensure charitable purpose; we will send you a list of documents required at this point. We cannot complete this check unless we have a signed, scanned copy of the documents, which will include English translations of your governing document, most recent annual financial accounts, your most recent transactional bank account statement, personal details of your trustees or directors and in some circumstances further information may be required. These checks must be completed within 3 months of notification that you have been selected for a grant. You must make sure that you have these documents ready before you apply.
Contracting and payment
If the verification checks are successful, your organisation will be sent a grant agreement and, once signed, funds will be transferred in one payment.
Project delivery
We anticipate funding projects which will take place during April 2021-March 2022.
Impact reporting
After the completion of the project, you will be sent an Impact Report to complete, to tell us about how the funds have been spent, what you have achieved and the difference the funding has made. We may contact you to develop a case study.
