Dates and deadlines
 |
We are often asked about when decisions on grants are made. Recommendations for larger grants are considered first by a committee of Governors and then decided at meetings of the full Board. These take place roughly once a quarter. |
Opposite are final dates by which applications and all supporting information must reach us if they are to be considered for submission at the following Board meeting.
No guarantee is ever made about which applications will be considered at which meeting, even if the application deadline has been met.
Ensuring that an application is clear and complete and that a site visit can be easily arranged does greatly increase the likelihood that your application will be submitted to the next Board meeting.
These dates may change - alterations will be posted on this page.
Dates
The blue line shows the deadline. Applications (and supporting information) for larger grants, not received by these dates, will be deferred to the next round.
These dates do not apply to decisions on smaller grants, which are made throughout the year.
