A Grants Officer will acknowledge receipt of the application and confirm whether the organisation/project is eligible for funding, and whether the application is complete. If any clarification or additional information is needed, opportunity will be given to provide it.

If an application does not meet the criteria it may be refused at this stage by a Grant Officer. It would not then be presented to a Senior Officer for their consideration. 

Applicants will be notified of a decision, by email, within a month of receipt of the application.
