Before submitting a grant application it is important that
you read the Trust's
Funding Guidelines
The application process is different for each type of grant. There are no closing dates for applications and Trustees will make decisions throughout the year. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and we aim to process small applications within three months and large ones within six or seven.
All applications should be submitted via the Trust's online application forms. Applicants who are not able to apply online should contact the administrator on 020 7597 3000 to discuss alternative application options. Any follow up material about your application should be sent by email to: administrator@burdettnursingtrust.org.uk
The Trustees make the grants in three categories:
Level One Grant (£10,000 - £50,000)
Applicants are asked to fill in the online
application form There is no closing date in operation. Applications are
received and assessed continually during the year and the Trust aims to process
grants within four months of receipt.
Level Two Grant (over £50,000)
Applicants are asked to fill in the online
application form. Applications are received and assessed continually during
the year and the Trust aims to process grants within six months. Wherever
possible applicants will be notified and kept informed about the decision
timetable for their application.
Burdett Award
Trustees will invite applications for funds towards specific topics.
Monitoring and evaluation requirements
The Trust will require grant recipients to complete a monitoring and evaluation form which will be sent out with their first grant payment. The Trust recommends that applicants review the form on the Trust's website so that they are aware of the requirements before making an application .
Payment of grants
The Trust will be flexible in respect of the making of grant payments subject to protecting the funds for which it is responsible.
- Level one grants can be paid in advance of expenditure being committed.
- A schedule of payments for the level two grants will be agreed on a case
by case basis, the objective being to use arrangements that best suit the
applicant.
- One-off grants should be spent within eight months of the money being allocated, although requests for extensions or slight variations will be considered.
