Application Checklist

The following information is required when applying for a grant:

Please supply details of your organisation’s strategy and objectives. Only projects that reflect the two main aims of Avonbrook – to support the recruitment, training and retention of professional teachers and to aim to improve vocational and post-school education and training for children – will be considered for funding.
If you are a registered non-governmental organisation please supply your latest annual report, accounts and evidence of NGO registration.
If you are a non-registered school or project you must nominate a partner NGO or other organisation and provide the annual reports and accounts of your nominated partner.
You will need to supply references from an independent registered body that supports your application.
An overview description of your organisation and the suggested project, along with details of any similar projects you have undertaken.
You will need to declare inputs (funds required) and outputs (e.g. number of people/teachers trained).
A detailed timeline, costing and plan for spending Avonbrook funds.
You will need to identify demand for the proposal from the local stakeholders and detail how your ogranisation will help them.
A proposal as to how Avonbrook funds will be used to best effect and how any risks of funding being misused will be minimised.
Identify risks or potential failures. (A failure to do this accurately may effect long-term funding and/or the success of further applications).
Identify other potential funders, should the project require a large grant or long-term funding.
In cases where you believe the project to be of vital need and a grant indispensable, ideally you will indicate a willingness to commit a percentage of your own resources to help fund the project.
