The rules may be different for each fund so it is always best to check with the funder directly. To apply for most grants an organisation will need to have:
- management committee of at least 3 people
- governing document (constitution or set of rules)
- bank account with at least 2 signatories – some funders will allow another organisation to receive a grant on your behalf
- record of annual income and expenditure
- safeguarding policy, if you will be working with children or vulnerable adults
- quotes for items over £1,000
You do not usually need to be a registered charity or company.
