If you ticked all the boxes in the self-assessment checklist, the next step is to let us have a first stage application. This should consist of:
(a) a form
As part of the first stage application process, you need to complete a form. Download an electronic version of the form (Word 40k).
(b) a short statement summarising what you would like to do and why on no more than two sides of A4, using a font no smaller than 12-point. Please use the following headings:
- A brief description of your organisation and its track record
- What you would like us to fund
- Why you want to do this work and why your organisation is best equipped to carry it out
- What difference the work you would like us to support will make to your organisation and life in the UK (either locally, regionally or nationally)
- How much would the project cost and how much money are you asking Esmée Fairbairn for?
- Additional information that could advance your application
(c) a copy of your organisation's most recent accounts (or a budget for the current year if your organisation is new)
(d) Your organisation’s constitution (if you are not a registered charity)
We will accept applications by post or email, but please make sure that you send (or attach) all the information we ask for at the same time.
