Application process

You are strongly encouraged to read the eligibility criteria and assessment criteria for the Towergate small grant programme before you begin completing the application form.

Only one application per grant round will be considered from each hospice.

 

Applying online

Grants can be applied for quickly and easily online. There is more guidance on setting up and using your online account elsewhere on our website.

 

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.


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.


Accessing and completing your application form

To begin a new Towergate Foundation small grant 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, please give concise answers as some questions have a limit on the number of words you can write.

 

Applications can be spell checked before submission by clicking the tick beside each box. However it may be easier to compile your answers in a word document first, then copy them into the online application form. This makes it is easier to count the number of words as well as check for any spelling and grammatical errors.


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’.

 

You will receive an automated email confirming your application has been submitted and is now under consideration. 

 

If you do not receive a confirmation email then the application has not been submitted.

 

A copy of your application is available for you to access on your account page under submitted applications.


Supporting documentation

Please send by post or email (scanned copies) to the grants team:

  • a copy of your hospice’s most recent audited accounts (if you have not already sent them to Help the Hospices for the hospice accounts project)
  • any other supporting information.

 

Deadline

Deadline for submitting an application and supporting documentation is 5 March 2012.
