How to Apply
An application consists of:
The completed application cover form
A project description – one A4 sheet
A detailed budget - one A4 sheet
A brief CV of the project leader(s) – one A4 sheet
Up to 4 jpeg images at 72-120 dpi.
Documents 1-4 must be presented in either Word or PDF formats and in no other format.
Your case for funding must be entirely contained in these 5 components. This is the only information upon which an application will be judged. Guidance on preparing each component is provided below.
Completing the application cover form
You must complete all the boxes.
The 50 word summary should clearly and accurately summarise in simple language what you will have explained more fully in the Project Description. It is in your interest to do this well, since this snapshot is what the Foundation will use (should you be successful) to portray your project to wider audiences on our website and elsewhere.
Preparing a project description
The Project Description is the opportunity to set out in your own words everything you want the Foundation to know about your project. It should include information on what you plan to do, why you want to do it, when and how you will undertake it, who will take part, what you expect it to achieve (for you, for others and/or the public at large) and why you think the Foundation should fund it.
If your project is part of a wider programme of activities, or a phase in a wider project, please include an explanation of this, so we can appreciate the context.
Your project description should equate to an A4 sheet of formatted text of legibly sized type – a text around 400-500 words in length.
You may include in the project description up to 2 links to examples of previous activities by those delivering the project.
Compiling a budget
The Foundation requires you to provide a detailed breakdown of all the costs included in the project, giving actual costs whenever you can, and indicating if any costs have had to be estimated.
If your project is part of a wider programme of activities, or a phase in a wider project, please make sure the budget you provide is for the project you want the Foundation to fund.
Your budget should be set out clearly and concisely in a tabular format and fit onto a sheet of A4 if printed.
Providing a CV
The Foundation needs to see CVs in order to establish the track records of those who will be delivering the art therapy and working with the disabled and disadvantaged children and young people. Please therefore submit the CV or CVs of the person/people who will be leading the art therapy and photographic activities that the project will provide.
CVs must be presented in legibly-sized type to fit on a single sheet of A4 if printed. For some applicants this might require summarising some details to focus on the key information.
Including up to 4 jpeg images
If it supports your application you are welcome to please supply up to four images of past activities.
Each must include the applicant name, a caption, details of the project and the year it was taken.
If you do include images then please ensure they are correctly sized to 72- 120 dpi because they will need to be shared within the Foundation to assess your application.
