Grant Applications

Please note: applicants MUST read the Grant guidelines before making an application.

Applications to the majority of our grant programmes can be made online. Our online application form is the quickest and easiest way to make an application to us. If it is not possible or practical for you to make your application online, please contact us (on 01223 410535) and we will send you a hardcopy of the application form for you to complete and return.

The online application process cannot be used for the following schemes:

• Axiom Homeless Action - please go to Fund page for details on how to apply
• Donarbon Community Fund - please see end of this page for details on how to apply
• Mars in the Community - please go to Fund page for details on how to apply

 

Make your application online!

The online application process has two stages: Part A of the form which you submit online, and Part B which requires you to send accompanying documentation by post. Details of the information you are required to send in Part B is listed below, and you should make sure you have all the information ready to send to us before you submit your online application.

Part A – Complete the online submission








If you are applying for any other grant online, please choose one of the options:

The links will open a separate window. You are invited to enter your email address which will automatically send an email to you containing a link to your individual application form. You are able to enter information using the online form, save it and return to it as many times as you like before submitting. You will also be able to print a draft to share with your committee.

Once you have submitted the online application form, your application will be sent to us automatically and we can begin to process your application immediately.

Part B – Post us your accompanying information

Once you have completed the online form you will be sent an email with a pdf attachment called Part B of the application form.

The attachment asks for the following information/action:

1. Your organisation’s bank details to enable us to pay any grant by BACS
2. Contact details for two independent referees
3. You must sign the standard terms and conditions to show you accept the conditions if a grant is made
4. Your organisation’s accounts for the most recent past two financial years
5. A copy of ONE bank statement from the last 3 months
6. A signed copy of your organisation’s set of rules / terms of reference / constitution
7. Your Equal Opportunities Policy
8. The names and addresses of management committee members, with cheque signatories identified.
9. If you are part of a larger regional or national organisation, evidence that you operate independently
10. Three different quotes for any capital items

You should make sure you have this information ready before you submit your online application so you can send it to us promptly. We are unable to consider your application until we have received all the requested information, so delay in sending Part B of your application form will slow down the processing of your application.

Please note:

1. If you have previously applied to CCF are have sent copies of any of the items listed in Part B, then you do not need to send additional copies unless they have recently been updated.
2. Remember to write your return address on any package you send to us by post as we are unable to pay the surcharges applied if you fail to pay the correct postage - your return address will get your documents back to you.

We look forward to receiving your application!
