What happens to your Application?
The Assessor will usually phone to arrange a telephone discussion, or she may wish to arrange a visit. If the application falls outwith our criteria, it will be turned down at this stage by the Assessor. Otherwise, the application will go to the next Trustees’ meeting, with a recommendation, for discussion by the Trustees.
You will normally be informed of the decision of the Trustees within 2 weeks of the meeting, by e-mail or telephone. If your application has been successful, you will receive a letter containing a cheque and a receipt which should be signed and returned to the Assessor as quickly as possible. The letter will set out the conditions of the grant, and the targets or outcomes which have been agreed between you and the Assessor beforehand.
If you are successful, you will be expected to make a report approximately 9 months after the date of the award, on a grant report form which will be sent to you by email and by letter. Trustees may wish to visit your organisation at some point and you should be quite frank about when this would be convenient. The Trust may also wish to put information about your organisation and the grant on the website. You should state at the time of the grant whether this is appropriate for your organisation and users.
