Page 8: FUNDING BUDDIES

Questions 1 - 9

• Contact Details• Organisation Details• Bank Details• Summary od Finances• Name of Project

Page 9: FUNDING BUDDIES

Question 10 - Activities ( Outputs )

• Be specific what you plan to do: how, when and where and what you will spend the money on

• Never use words like “ hope to “, use “will”• Never use “Unique” because there will be

other groups somewhere running a similar project, use words like “new, proven, effective, value for money, etc. )

• I would also be careful on using “innovative”

Page 10: FUNDING BUDDIES

Question 11 -14• When will your Project take place• Where will your Project take place• Where will the beneficiaries come from• Costings – always refer back to what A4A will pay

for and what needs to be paid for through another source. Always keep a record of how you have calculated the costs and get estimates where possible

• Specific questions on Land/Buildings regarding freehold, leases and planning

Page 11: FUNDING BUDDIES

Question 15–Why is your Project neededEvidence of Need

“The most important part of any application”• Collecting evidence - Questionnaires

- Consultation Meetings

- Letters of Support

- Proof of Success from similar projects

- Direct and Indirect beneficiary input

- Relevant Statistics

- List how the Project meets Local and

National Priorities

- Current provision and waiting lists

Most projects start from an idea from an individual or committee

Please make sure that you involve and have your community on board

Page 12: FUNDING BUDDIES

Evidence of Need - Questionnaires• Short and concise – no more than 2 sides• Include both “Open” and “Closed” questions• Wording must be clear and unbiased • Tick boxes are good but allow space for

people to add their own ideas• Be very careful on questions asking for

personal information• Build interest, trust, motivation and

commitment

Page 13: FUNDING BUDDIES

Gathering the Information• Delivering Questionnaires to residents is an excellent way of

letting people know what you are doing, but response is likely to be low

• Holding a meeting or attending a local meeting or event ( a Fete for example ) will not cover as many people, but number of completed forms will be high

• Approaching people to request that they ask their friends, neighbours, relatives, members of the same clubs is very effective.

• Use contacts and support agencies to put you in touch with other Groups, Local dignitaries and access to statistics and Local and National Priorities

• Enlisting the help of the local shops, Pubs, Community Hall, Parish/Town Council, etc is very effective

the target area
