Cardiff Third Sector Council (C3SC), the umbrella organisation that promotes, supports and represents the third sector in Cardiff, has put together this useful guide to the key points that you need to think about before making an application. 1 Are we eligible to apply? It sounds obvious, but many funding applications are rejected because they: - ask for costs that fall outside the scope of the grant programme - fail to provide information required in the application - are from types of organisations the funder cannot support Read the guidelines carefully and contact the funder if in doubt. 2 Do we meet the criteria and/or priorities? If a funder says they are only interested in supporting the elderly, don’t waste time by applying for a project for any other purpose. Again, if in doubt contact the funder for advice.
