Grant Making Process

The Board of Trustees ensures that its decision-making processes are informed, rigorous and timely and that effective delegation, control and risk-assessment and management systems are set up and monitored. 

To this end, all grant requests go through a process as per the Foundation’s Grant Process as detailed below:-

If you are unsuccessful  with either your  Enquiry or Grant Application, we will always provide you with feedback.

Should you be successful in being invited to apply for a grant, we will send you a Grant Application Form, together with Grant Application Guidelines. You will be given a date by when you should submit your application in order that it may be considered at the next Trustees meeting. 

If you are successful with your Grant Application we will agree with you on how and when you will report on the progress.

You will be provided with Terms & Conditions of the Grant and need to sign a Grant Agreement. 

When everything is in order Sunrise will transfer your grant and you will be able to start your project. 

In line with our strategic planning, the Trustees have implemented a Multi-Year Grant Application process for some existing beneficiaries. Multi-Year Grants are a big commitment to organisations to not only help them become more sustainable in the future, but also fundamentally ensures continuity of vital support. We believe this facilitates fostering close relationships and enables the Foundation to fully understand the work the charities are doing. By offering repeat support or on-going funding we make the grant giving more effective and efficient.
