Application process
You are strongly encouraged to read the eligibility criteria, the criteria that your application will be assessed against as well as the application form guidance notes before you begin completing the application form.
Rank Foundation grants can be applied for quickly and easily online. 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.
However 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.
Applying online
Before you can access the online application form you will be asked several questions in the eligibility filter. Please note that responses to this are not sent to Help the Hospices but, if answered correctly, will allow you to
access the 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 sign into your existing account. This will take you to a page which displays both your completed and in-progress applications.
Only one application will be considered from each hospice.
When you are filling in your application form, please give us concise answers as some questions have a limit on the number of words you can write.
If you are successful we will ask you 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.
Next steps
Once you have completed the form and submitted it online, please print off a paper copy. This needs to be signed by your chief executive and posted to us at Help the Hospices, together with a copy of your hospice’s most recent audited accounts and any other supporting documentation, such as a project plan.
