Application for Funding

Please complete as much of this application form as possible. Parts marked with an asterisk are mandatory. You may send supplementary documentation (including your CV if required) by using the upload button at the bottom of the form, but the trustees will consider primarily the essential information requested below. The application can be completed in stages by using the ‘Save and continue later’ link at the bottom of the form.

Notes for Individual applicants

If you are an individual applying for funding, please provide a single page curriculum vitae, with relevant details of your work and experience to-date, and the names and addresses of two referees. Applications from individuals for support with fees and/or maintenance will NOT be considered even if accompanied by letters of professional or academic recommendation.

Timing of Applications

Applications received after the end of August are unlikely to be funded during the Trust’s current financial year (ending 31 March) because funds will have already been committed.

3. Application for Funding
3.1 Amount of funding sought from Fenton Arts Trust
Please look at the ‘Beneficiaries’ pages on the website. Requests for amounts way above anything previously given are unlikely to be successful. It is also open to you to indicate ‘or any amount’.
3.2 Details of any funding already raised (confirmed and/or pending)
3.3 Budget for complete project (if total cost is greater than funding sought)
Total figure only: please attach breakdown as a separate sheet, if necessary. It is important for the Trust to understand what proportion of the total cost any grant might cover.
3.4 ‘Headline’ description of the project (or part of project) for which funding is required*
A concise description of the project, clearly stating how it fits the Trust’s funding criteria, which can be found on the ‘What We Do’ page of our website. (This section should be a maximum of 140 characters in length.) This is an ESSENTIAL section of the form. It is short – a sentence or so: an ‘elevator conversation’ description of the project only. Trustees need to understand immediately how the funds of the Trust might be spent. For what exactly do you want the money? What do you hope to achieve?
3.5 Additional information about your project
3.6 Date by which you need a decision from the Trust*
Ideally this should be a minimum of 4 months after your application date
3.7 Date when funds from the Trust are required*
A minimum of 6 months normally elapses before the Trust both makes a decision and has sufficient funds in its budget. In most financial years (April-March) the majority of funds in the current year’s budget are committed by July
3.8 Brief description of your work or that of your organisation*
This section provides the opportunity for you to provide all the information which will place your specific proposal in its proper overall context, whether as part of a larger project or as part of the general work of the organisation. You can send supplementary material to support your application, but in the first instance the Trust is looking for carefully focused, well considered and clearly expressed project proposals. Experience suggests that a text no longer than 250 words can communicate the essentials of such proposals.
4. How did you hear about The Fenton Arts Trust?*
Please be as specific as possible: if you found us via internet research we would be grateful to know on which website. (If you are a previous beneficiary please tell us, and give the year/s in which you received support.) This helps the Trustees know where information about the Trust is being publicised, and, if necessary, allows the Trust to rectify inaccuracies or misinformation about its funding criteria. Previous beneficiaries should refer to the date/s or their previous grants from the Trust.
