Tips
- The application must be completed online. Make sure you have all required supporting documents ready, including a budget.
- A co-contribution from the applicant is required. This can be cash or in-kind.
- The online form cannot be saved and returned to later. We recommend copying the questions into a Word document, drafting your answers there, then pasting them into the online form when you’re ready to submit.
- Before you start, review the application form and note what documents you’ll need to upload, such as a budget, quotes, and letters of support. Having these prepared will make the process much easier.
- Use our budget template (editable Word document). An example budget is provided on the second page to guide you.
