Before you apply

Important information

How to Apply

All applications must be submitted via this website. We are unable to accept applications by post, email, or any other method.

Eligibility

We only consider applications that align with our mission:

Supporting vulnerable people to thrive
Nurturing sustainable communities
Protecting the environment in ways that contribute to long-term social wellbeing

If your request does not fall within these areas, we regret that we will not be able to consider your application.

Application Review

Each application is reviewed carefully by the Foundation.
As a very small organisation, response times may vary.
If you do not hear from us within four weeks, this means your application has not been successful on this occasion.
Due to capacity, we are unable to provide individual feedback on unsuccessful applications.
You are welcome to apply again in the future if your circumstances change.

Thank you for your understanding.
