If you're wondering how to write your application, what to include and how to complete the funding application form, here's a few simple pointers about what to do and what NOT to do:-

1. Prepare well - research and find trusts, preferably locally, who fund projects similar to yours.

2. Do read the information sent to you by the trust or foundation. Listen to what it says! If they don't fund projects for children, don't submit your project for a youth centre! You need to be wise about the use of your time, don't waste it.

3. Finding out what the Trust will offer grants for and ensuring that your project fits well within the guidelines is time well-spent, if in doubt, contact the Trust to check.

4. Do not submit the same application to hundreds of trusts - unless you wish to strongly support the recycling movement.

   Remember, most applications are put in by non-professionals who have a heart-felt interest in the project - your application for funding can be successful if you just take a little time to prepare.
