Application support

SCVO’s Guide to Finding Funding has resources to help you make a clear case for your project.  

Please remember that this is a competitive application process. Your application will be assessed against other applications with only the strongest applications chosen to receive a grant. Be clear and focused, and make your application as easy to read as possible. Be creative with your new idea – how is it unique? Demonstrate clearly the need in your community and the impact your project/activities will have – don’t be afraid to be passionate about your cause! 

Funders want to know there is value for money in the projects/activities they are investing in. Talk about the ongoing sustainability and impact of your project/activities on your audience and the community. Be sure to include the number and types of people who will benefit from your project and how. 

Lastly, think about the timeframe – ensure that you will have enough time to deliver your project/ activities within the period of funding. If your project involves recruiting staff be mindful of the time this can take. If your project/activities involve input from partners make sure they know about it and are able to meet your timescales..
