[WiLT] Trust for London - apply by 7th February 2008

[WiL Admin]

Trust for London - Open Programme

We are not able to fund all small, new and emerging organisations that
apply to us. We will therefore fund areas of work which have one (or
more) of the following aims:
1. To challenge discrimination faced by disabled people;
2. To promote the inclusion and integration of recently established
communities;
3. To strengthen mother-tongue and supplementary schools to provide
creative educational opportunities;
4. Each year we will make grants of approximately £650,000. The
majority of this is spent on our open programme.

The maximum you can apply for is £15,000 per year, although the
average grant will be approximately £8,000 in total. We will make
grants for one, two or three years. We expect to make 50 grants each
year.

In addition, we will also make a smaller number of grants to
organisations that want to increase their staffing levels in order to
make a step change in their development. This may include making a
contribution towards the costs of a full-time post.

We have a two-stage application process. We do not have application
forms. Instead, at stage one we ask you to send in a brief proposal.
If your proposal is successfully shortlisted, you move on to stage two
of the process. This involves a visit from one of our staff, after
which, assuming your application does indeed meet our requirements, we
ask you to submit a final application which is considered by our
Grants Committee.

Our next closing date for proposals to be submitted is 7 February 2008
(5pm).
