Guidance to apply
The applications can involve considerable work, which is why we ask potential applicants to talk to the fund’s team at an early stage. We can help you determine whether to apply, and support you to develop a strong proposal.
Here is the application form as a PDF, and as a word template. These are provided to support you getting prepared to apply. You need to use the online form to make your application.
We also provide a project plan template. You don’t need to use this format, but you must include the details it asks for in the project plan you’ll upload as part of an application.
