Ask for the applicant, project purpose, community need, intended outcomes, delivery plan, budget context, and supporting evidence that match your grant criteria.

Make eligibility and requirements clearer

Explain who can apply, what information is required, when applications close, and which conditions applicants should understand before submitting.

Keep funding decisions realistic

Make clear that an application starts the review process and that eligibility, assessment, funding, agreements, reporting, and payment are determined separately.

From template to working form

How to put it to work

  1. 01

    Tailor fields to your funding criteria

    Use questions that reflect the programme purpose, eligible applicants, assessment criteria, required evidence, budget information, and any safeguarding or compliance requirements.

  2. 02

    Publish clear applicant guidance

    Share the form with the deadline, eligibility requirements, supporting-document expectations, privacy information, and the right contact route for questions.

  3. 03

    Review applications through the approved process

    Check completeness and eligibility, assess submissions against the published criteria, manage conflicts appropriately, and communicate decisions through your established grants workflow.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

What should a grant application form include?

Include applicant details, project purpose, community need, intended outcomes, activities, delivery plan, budget, supporting documents, declarations, and the information required by your published criteria.

Does submitting a grant application guarantee funding?

No. Explain that submission begins the review process and that eligibility, assessment, funding decisions, agreements, and any payment are determined separately.

How can I make grant applications easier to review?

Use clear criteria-aligned questions, label required evidence, set concise word or budget guidance where useful, and explain what happens after submission without overpromising a timeline.

Should applicants be able to save and return later?

Consider it for longer applications when your form workflow supports it. If not, tell applicants which information and documents to prepare before they begin, and provide a suitable support route.
