Before applying
A PDF with details of the questions that will be asked in the online form is provided so that you know what to expect. Further information on how to complete each question is provided in the application form guidance notes.
Applying online
Before you can access the online application form you will be asked several questions in the eligibility filter. Responses to this are not sent to Help the Hospices but if answered correctly will allow you to access the form.
If you cannot access the online form for any reason, you can also apply by completing a paper application form. Please contact us to request a paper version of the application form.
Accessing and completing your application form
To begin a new Rank Foundation online form open a new application form and complete the requested information. The first page after signing in will be the eligibility quiz.
To return to a saved application, sign into your existing account. This will take you to a page which displays both your completed and in-progress applications.
When you are filling in your application form, give concise answers as some questions have a limit on the number of words you can write.
If successful, you will be asked to report back on your grant by referring to the answers you have written on your application form, so it is important to be realistic in your answers.
Submitting the online form
Once you have completed the form you can submit it online. To submit, go to the last page of the application form and at the bottom is a ‘review and submit’ button. This allows you to check through your application before sending it. Once you are happy with it, click ‘submit’ and a message should appear stating that it has been sent.
You will also receive an automated email acknowledging receipt and on your account page, the application will show under ‘submitted applications’ rather than ‘open applications’.
If this does not happen then the application has not been submitted.
Send a copy of your hospice’s most recent audited accounts (if you have not already sent them to Help the Hospices for the hospice account project) together with any other supporting documentation such as a:
-
project plan
-
needs assessment.
These can be sent either by post, or scanned in and sent by email.
Deadline
Deadline for submitting an application and supporting documentation is Thursday 26 August 2010.
Applications submitted after that date will not be accepted.
