How to apply for a grant

- Then download and fill in the Application Form.
- There are five factsheets you may find useful when completing your Awards for All application form: Bank statements, Accounts, Governing documents, Capital works, and Application. These factsheets can be found at the right hand side of this page under the Apply now section, and within the Application walkthrough.
- Send the form back to us, with all supporting documentation. You should allow at least four months between the date you apply and your project start date.
- If you are successful we will contact you about what happens next, and you will need to start your project within three months of receiving your grant payment.
- What will Awards for All pay for? Take a look at the What we will fund page.
You can type directly into the electronic application form, but, you must save the form to your own computer first, and you must have the latest version of Adobe Reader installed to be able to save your answers.
