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.

Application form
Name of Organisation or Individual*
Details to be added later in application
'Headline' description of the project (or part of project) for which funding is requested*
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. This is an ESSENTIAL section of the form. It should be the length of a tweet (140 characters maximum). Trustees need to understand immediately and clearly how the funds of the Trust might be spent.
Amount of funding sought from The Fenton Arts Trust*
Requests for amounts significantly above anything previously given are unlikely to be successful (see ‘Beneficiaries’ page). It is also open to you to add ‘or any amount’
Budget of complete project (if total cost is greater than funding sought)
Total budget of complete project. It is important for the Trust to understand what proportion of the total cost any grant might cover. Where appropriate please submit a breakdown as a separate file.
Additional information about your project*
This is your chance to add detail to your project description. Again, please bear in mind the Trust’s stated funding criteria. This section should be a maximum of 250 words in length (1500 characters)
Details of funding already raised (confirmed and/or pending)
This section should be a maximum of 50 words in length (300 characters)
Date by which you need a decision from the Trust*
Ideally this should be a minimum of 4 months after your application date.
Date Format: DD slash MM slash YYYY
Date when funds from the Tust 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.
Date Format: DD slash MM slash YYYY
Brief description of your work or that of your organisation*
This section provides the opportunity to give information which places 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. Experience suggests that a text no longer than 250 words (1500 characters maximum) can communicate the essentials. You can submit supplementary material to support your application, but in the first instance the Trust is looking for well considered, carefully focused and clearly expressed proposals.
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 or using which search terms (140 characters maximum).
Previous beneficiary of The Fenton Arts Trust?
If you are a previous beneficiary of The Fenton Arts Trust, please say in which years (140 characters maximum)
