***Please note: New application process:****
This year we are allocating a proportion of our funds to two special projects. As a result of this, there will only be one application round for organisations and this will be limited to 25 applications. Our reason for limiting the number of applications is to keep an acceptable ratio of successful applications to unsuccessful ones.
We will maintain our policy of insisting that every prospective organisational applicant has a meeting with us (ideally face-to-face but, failing that, by Zoom) prior to being given the go-ahead to apply.
The procedure for any organisation wishing to apply for a grant from Anguish’s Educational Foundation will therefore now be as follows:
You must first request a pre-application meeting. We will limit the number of our pre-application meetings to 25 in respect of each grants meeting.
In the chart below you will find the relevant date and time after which you can request a pre-application meeting and the specific email address to which you need to send your request.
We will allocate our pre-application meeting slots on a first come, first served basis. i.e. the first 25 meeting-request emails that we receive after the specified time, will be offered the meetings. Any requests received before the specified time and date will not be allocated a meeting, nor will requests sent to any email address other than the one specified in the table below.
