GUIDELINES FOR APPLICANTS

What we fund

We make grants for work with: Women and children who are experiencing domestic violence and/or social deprivation.

Who can apply?

We give grants to local Agencies in the UK (with special interest in the West Midlands) and partner Countries where we have an interest (in practice this will be Russia, Uzbekistan and currently Africa).

You do not have to be a Registered Charity but if you are a UK based project you must have a Constitution or set of Rules, a Management Committee and a Bank Account.

Type of Grant

Grants may be given for one-off Projects (A progress report will be required within a six-month period following reciept of Grant). Ongoing grants will rarely be made.

How to apply

Please write a letter/email of Application (no more than two sides of A4) stating who you are, the problem you are seeking to address, and how you will address it and how much your Project will cost.

All applications must be accompanied by the Charity's most recent Annual Accounts or a signed Budget sheet. Please do not send Videos or bulky research reports.

Please note that, as with other Charitable Trusts, The FATE trust recieves more Applications than it has funds to support. Even if a Project fits within the guidelines and a detailed assessment confirms the eligibility, the Trust may still be unable to make a donation.
