Funding Timeline

Week 6: Funding agreements checked

Week 7: Payments prepared

Week 8/12: Grants will be paid to successful organisations between 8 and 12 weeks following the submission deadline.

We aim to deposit funding into the bank accounts of successful organisations within 8-12 weeks of the submission deadline. This is dependent on the timely return and acceptance of all agreements and documents.

We aim to make the second payment of your grant approximately 12 months after the first installment is paid, followed by a third payment 12 months after the second. Before the next installment of the grant is released, your organisation would need to complete a short review form and a new funding agreement. These documents must be submitted before the next payment can be processed.

The Trust reserves the right to withhold or withdraw payments for the second and third years if an organisation does not meet our due diligence requirements after the review form has been completed. For more information on due diligence requirements, please refer to our FAQs.
