Autumn 2021 Round
One of our charitable objectives is to provide grants to other charitable community organisations in the North East of England.
We hold each round of Grant Applications in two stages:
- Invitation to submit your Grant Application via our website
- Assessment and Evaluation of received applications
The invitation to submit your grant applications opens week commencing 16th August with a Deadline for submissions of Tuesday, the 7th September 2021 at 11:55PM.
Decisions on the applications are expected to be made in September 2021.
The trustees look forward to receiving your application.
Applying for a Grant:
Applications can be made using the application form on this portal, which must be completed in full and received by the deadline. Incomplete applications will not be considered. Applications must meet the eligibility criteria set out below.
You can start filling in the online application form and save it as a draft and complete it later - as long as we recieve the completed form before the deadline.
Some fields have a maximum word count set, you can still be as brief as possible.
If you should encounter any problems completing the form or have specific questions, please feel free to contact us administration@hospitalofgod.org.uk
