When you apply
If you are a good fit for funding, you will be sent a link to the application form by email.
If you need communication support
If it’s difficult or impossible for you to apply online, let us know. We can offer other ways to apply, such as:
an Easy Read version of the form and guidance

another accessible format
If you have any communication support needs, contact us.
What you’ll need to apply
You can see a full list of questions from the application form.
We’ll ask for:
the legal name of your organisation
its address
the type of organisation it is
any registration numbers (for example, charity or company numbers)
Please check these details carefully. Incorrect information will delay your application.
References to 'project' in our application form
In the application form, you’ll see the word ‘project’ used.
As this is development funding and not project funding, fill in ‘Development of [your organisation name]’ when asked about your project. That is what we are hoping to fund.
When you’re asked about how your project benefits your community
There’s a section about understanding more about how your project or work benefits your community. These questions are related to project-specific funding and our missions.
If you are unsure of how to answer these questions in relation to this development funding, select answers that best represent the kind of projects you have previously developed and delivered.
This information will be used to understand your organisation’s work.
Information about your organisation’s finances
We’ll ask you to:
upload 12-month projections if your organisation is less than 15 months old

Information about your team
