| Applying for Grants - General Guidelines |
| |
| 1. |
Research grant giving organisations and establish the nature of the work that each will support. Do not apply for funds for projects that will be rejected immediately. |
| |
| 2. |
Read the grant form(s) and requirements with care and only send information that is required. Organisations have a reason for requesting information in specific formats. |
| |
| 3. |
Plan your grant application timetable for the year ahead. If you are unable to include a specific piece of information, write a covering letter and forward it as soon as possible. |
| |
| 4. |
If you ask more than one organisation for funding for the same project and more than one responds with a grant, have an alternative suggestion and write asking if it can be used for that project instead. |
