TO APPLY
Applicants for a grant should write, enclosing their last annual report and accounts and a
budget for the project. The Trustees tend to look more favourably on an appeal which is
simply and economically prepared: glossy, "prestige" and Mail sorted brochures do not
impress the trustees. We will want to know how many of the trustees of the organisation
are users, (hopefully a large majority)
If the group is new, we want all possible information, including constitution, funding,
backers etc.
We will want to know about other refugee organizations in the vicinity, and also the
number of people expected to use your facilities.
We will need a telephone contact number

-
The Trustees do not look favourably on appeals for building work, nor for endowment funds.
-

(unless it is a specific grant, probably for training in the branches).

not like to give grants that encourage the "contract culture", particularly where authorities are
not funding the contract adequately.

religion, unless the service is open to and used by people from all denominations, and there
is no attempt to conduct any creedal propaganda or religious rituals
