Who makes the decision
At the very beginning of the process when you’re preparing your application for submission you will be guided through this by our wonderful Grants Administrator, Vicky! Once your application is complete, our Grants Committee of trustees will make necessary checks regarding the structure and finance of your organisation. Our Appraisal Panel, of previous successful applicants, meet three times a year to consider funding applications and make the final decisions.
