Toolkit for applying for funding
-
-
-
-
-
This toolkit is organised into three modules that can be used separately or together: preparing for funding, managing an application, and writing a strong application. Start with the module that matches your current task. Each module links to the relevant checklist, worksheet, template or example.
Each resource has a specific purpose. Guidance explains what to do and why. Checklists confirm completion. Worksheets help you develop application content. Templates provide a structure to complete or adapt. Examples show the expected level of detail and must be replaced with accurate information about your group and project. Online, each resource should open separately from the main guidance so users can view, complete or download only what they need.
An overview of how this toolkit is designed to work is set out below:
Some tasks can be completed at the same time. Assign a lead person to each module to coordinate the work and confirm that each task is completed. Together, these leads form the core funding team for your application.
Quick start
Complete Module 1 to make sure your group is ready to receive and manage funding. Do this once for your group.
Next, use Module 2 as your process for every funding application.
Use Module 3 to prepare the content of your application. The annexes provide reusable checklists, worksheets, meeting prompts, project planning tools, and budget guidance.
A short video introduces the toolkit and explains how to choose the right module.
