Tips for applicants
Double check that your application is complete
Use the checklist on the application form to ensure you have
included every document that is required.
Get your application in early
Distributing Agencies process applications in the order that they
receive them. Early submissions get quicker responses. To get
ahead of the pack, start preparing your project motivation, plan
and budget before the call for applications.
Don’t be afraid to ask for help
If you are not certain about any of the required documentation
or need advice about the kind of business plan or budget we
expect, please contact our Information Centre on 08600 65383
before submitting you application.
What happens after you submit your application ?
• You will be sent a letter acknowledging that your application
has been received.
• Your application will be checked for completeness and will
be assessed by the Central Applications Office if all papers
are in order.
• Tracking and enquiries
• You will be notified of the outcome of your application:
• If your application is refused, the Distributing Agency
must explain why. The reason should help you to meet the
requirements in future applications.
• If your application is successful, you will receive a grant offer.
You have 30 days to accept this by sending back the signed
Grant Agreement and other required information. If you fail to
meet this deadline the grant offer may be withdrawn.
• You will be expected to submit a progress report six months
after receiving the grant or once 75% of the grant has been
spent, whichever occurs first.
