Applications should preferably be submitted from those directly involved in the project rather than Fundraisers or Development Offices.
Applicants should make sure that their project fits the Trust's objects, What We Don't Support and that it falls within the Trust's current priority areas
Telephone or email enquiries to the Trust's office are welcomed to discuss the suitability of an application. Do try again if there is no one in the office when you call as we operate flexible working hours. See contact details.
The Trust does not have an application form. Applicants should send a signed hard copy by post to the Administrator always including a one-page lay 'executive' summary of the proposed work. The proposal should state clearly:
What the aims of the project and why it is believed to be innovative
What the overall budgeted cost of the project is and how much is being requested from the Trust .
What the grant will be used for. How long the project will take to have practical benefits.
How the project / research results be disseminated
Applications from young researchers should be accompanied by a letter of support from a Senior Colleague or Research Supervisor
Development projects should indicate where they would hope to obtain future funding
Where appropriate it is helpful to include a CV; job description, set of audited signed accounts and annual report
Applications are processed continually. When we have received your application we will be in touch (normally within two weeks) either to ask for further information; or to tell you the application will be going forward to the next stage of assessment and what the timetable for a final decision will be; or to tell you that we can't help. The Trust reserves the right to 'close' an agenda once sufficient appropriate applications have been received. Please note that the Trustees receive many applications for support, and although your work may fit the Objects of the Trust, we may not be able to help you. Trustees' decisions are final.
