Applying

1. Find a grant that is suitable for your group or project. Ensure you are eligible and that the fund is currently accepting applications.
   
2. Complete an online application form. A link to this is found on each individual grant page.
   
• Need help completing the application form?
  
3. Complete section B. On submission of the online form an automated email will be sent to you containing section B of the application.
   
• Section B requires  a suitable referee and supporting documentation.
• Please note! Applications will only be processed when all the supporting documentation has been received.
  
4. Post a copy of the completed application, including section B and all required supporting information to Two Ridings.
   
• Please note! We do not accept applications via email as you cannot provide a signature.

 

Assessment and Awarding

1. Once we have received your application and supporting documentation, a special panel will assess all applications.
   
• An assessor may contact you to obtain further information or to arrange an evaluation. This may be over the telephone or in person.
  
2. The panel will then make recommendations to the Board of Trustees.
   
3. We will write to you to let you know the outcome. Unfortunately the final decision cannot be changed and no discussion will be entered into.
   
• In certain circumstances applicants will be awarded a pledge. This is the promise of a grant if/ when certain conditions are met.  

 

Monitoring and Completion

1. When your project is complete, you must fill in an End of Grant Monitoring Form.
   
• This allows us assess the success of your project and grant in question
• AND you will not be eligible to apply for further grants until we have received this form as it finalises your grant.

Sharing your story

1. We always love to hear a good story. If you feel your project or group was successful, if you have a touching tale to tell or some beautiful photographs to share, we would love to hear more.
   
• This offers inspiration and encouragement those considering donating or creating a fund, therefore ensuring the future of grants to support projects like your own.
  
• Creates publicity for you and supports for the work of Two Ridings
  
• What is more, it amplifies the voices of your community and those you have helped raising awareness of local needs.
