Application for Main Charity Status
Before writing your application for Main Charity status, please read these notes
to ensure that you present your application in the best possible way.
When
describing the way you plan to use the money, be as specific as possible.
For
example:
·
‘heart defibrillator’, not
‘medical equipment’
·
‘swings for the playground’,
not ‘play equipment’
·
‘Christmas dinner for the
pensioners’, not ‘social activities’
If your
description paints a clear picture in our minds of what you are aiming for, we
are going to
be more confident in awarding Main Charity status to you.
3. Tell us roughly how much money you need.
The amount available will be around £3,000.
The money is
usually paid out in October.
4. Tell us, if possible, roughly when you expect your activity/purchase/construction to take place – for example:
‘replace aging kitchen units in the
Scout Hut in January/February 2018’.
This helps us to publicise you as a Main Charity.
5. Make it easy for us to contact you: we may well want to ask further questions.
Please
give an address with postcode, land-line telephone, mobile phone number
and e-mail address if you have them.
6. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you are unsure about any aspect of your application:
you don’t lose points
