GETTING TO KNOW YOU

Our Getting to Know You form is a chance for groups that are new to us to introduce themselves and their work. The details you submit will be saved on our database and used to match your organisation to any relevant funding that becomes available. When we identify funding that is a good fit for your organisation we will invite you to submit a full application.

It is likely that the number of eligible organisations will outnumber the amount of funding we have available at any given time. To avoid wasting applicants’ time, we will keep the number of groups we invite to apply proportionate to the value of grants we are able to make. We will be as transparent as we can about how we make these decisions, and will keep in touch with all groups on our database on a regular basis to update them on our grantmaking.

Our database

If you have applied for funding from us since 1 January 2023 you will already be on our database and you do not need to complete the Getting to Know You Form. 

If you are not already on our database, or if your organisation’s work and/or governance has changed significantly since you last applied, please fill in and submit the Getting to Know You form. You will need to complete the eligibility checklist below to access this form. 

Please note that for all groups on our database we will also draw on publicly available information, such as website and social media content, to get a fuller and up-to-date picture of your activity.
