Grants for groups

Grants for individuals


Provide the name of your organisation as it appears on any governing documents


If your organisation operates under another name, please provide that as well.
Address of your organisation
This should be the address of the organisation. If the organisation doesn't have an independent location you can use the contact details of the primary contact.








These are the details that will be used for correspondence regarding this application. 

The contact person should be someone who has a good knowledge of the application as this is the person we will contact if we have any queries.





We may need to contact you to discuss the application - please provide a telephone number where we can reach you during office hours

Address of main contact








Please provide details of the organisation's bank account





Having a single person authorising payments is a fraud risk. This can be mitigated by appropriate internal controls. Please outline these and attach any documents that provide more detail of these.
If NCF have previously agreed that your controls are adequate please enter "NCF agreement previously given"



Does your project have an overall project name? If so, please enter it here.


If your project has fixed start and end dates enter these here. Check the Fund website to ensure these fit with the grant decision date. If you project is ongoing, you should enter the start and finish dates of the funding period. Unless explicitly stated on the fund page, all grants are for 1 year only. 

At local level, where do the young people you aim to benefit with your project come from?

Please provide postcodes to represent where you will deliver activities or where most of the children and young people you work with reside. 

If there are multiple places, click add another location to enter as many as you need. 

If it is too difficult to distinguish, please provide the postcode of your organisation or the venue from which you deliver these activities.




Please briefly outline how you would like to use the grant to develop your offering. This could include new or existing costs.

We are interested in hearing about local need rather than national statistics. Please tell us about the needs you are seeing the young people you work with, or would like to work with, through this project. If young people have been involved in planning this project, or you have sought their ideas/feedback on your plans, please tell us about this and how it has shaped your project.

Tell us what you think the next steps will be leading on from this project - it may be a one-off activity or purchase, or you might aim to continue or develop the activity after the grant is spent. If so, do you have any plans for how your group may do this? If the grant is for equipment or building work, tell us about its expected lifespan, how you will maintain it and how you plan to cover any associated costs.

Please estimate as accurately as you can - you can explain below how you have arrived at this figure.

We realise that knowing how many people will benefit can be difficult, so we need you to explain briefly how you have arrived at the beneficiary figure entered above - for example it could be from bookings, membership information, records of who uses the service, or questionnaires.
We know that a lot of community activities are open to all but we would like you to think about who specifically will be involved in your project - this might be based on the number of places available or take up of a previous similar project. Please don't just enter the number of people who live in your area, unless you feel that is truly the likely level of involvement.

Please select the communities you are aiming to work with in your project - only select a category if 75% or more of the people you are working with fall into that category. Please tick as many as apply.

This list is not exhaustive of all communities but highlights groups of people who are more likely to experience inequalities.

We know not all your projects will be working with people from one of these communities, so do not worry if this does not apply, just tick "Does not apply." 
Communities that experience inequity as a result of their race or ethnic group which may be related to their national/geographical origin, skin colours, and other identities. Choose this level if your organisation works on racial justice or supports people from multiple Communities
