Applications by Registered Charities or Overseas Charitable Organisations

Registered Charities and Overseas Charitable Organisations do not have to complete the application form unless the request is on behalf of an Individual.

Application by Registered Charities and Overseas Charitable Organisations has to be by way of letter on the organisation's headed paper and should:

• Give a brief description of your organisation including any statutory or voluntary registration.
• Provide a summary of the work you plan to undertake with the grant, together with a cost breakdown, plans and/or specification if available and a summary of the key milestones for the work.
• Provide information on why you need to do this work and what would happen if you were unable to do it.
• Give details of any other UK-based support received or pledged for your project.
• Specify what you expect the results of the work to be and the number of beneficiaries helped.
• Tell us how you plan to evaluate whether the work achieved its goals.
• Tell us if the work will require capital and/or ongoing operational funding and if so how you plan to meet these costs.
• In addition you need to attach the following financial information to the letter:
• A cashflow projection of income and expenditure budget for the work.
• Details of any income already raised for the work and income outstanding and where you plan to raise it from.
• Your latest annual report and accounts.

Any offer of a grant by ACT will typically be made on the terms of a Letter of Grant, which we will prepare.
