Tips for applying for a grant
General advice from us, the same for every grant. It is not what this organisation says; that is above.
- Say what the money is for, exactly, and how much of it goes where. A simple budget in a table is enough.
- Describe what you have done so far, with numbers you can prove: customers, people served, sales, months running.
- Check whether they need your business registered, and in which country.
- Answer their questions in their order. Reviewers score each one.
If there is an interview or a test
- Expect questions on your numbers. Know them without reading them.
- Be ready to say what happens to the project if you do not get the grant.
All our tips and messages to copy. Practise answering, with nothing kept. Received an offer? Check whether it is real, then read before you say yes.
