Bringing People Together - Application Summary

Here are all the questions we ask in the application form for Bringing People Together. The guidance gives you more details about what you will need to tell us in your answers.

Section 1 - Your project

Please tell us about your project in this section. This is the most important section when it comes to making a decision about whether you will receive funding.

Question	Guidance
What is the name of your project?	The project name should be simple and to the point.
How much money do you want from us?	We expect most of the funding will go to projects that request between £200,000 and £500,000. There will be a smaller number of awards for projects up to a maximum of £1 million. The amount you include here can be an estimate – we’ll discuss this with you in more detail if you’re invited through to the next stage. If you’re only asking us for part of the money, you only need to tell us the amount you need from us.
How long do you need the money for?	We can fund projects for up to five years. If your project is not an exact number of years, round up to the nearest year. For example, for an 18-month project, choose two years. 1 year 2 years 3 years 4 years 5 years
What date do you estimate the project will start on?	We aim to let you know if you’ve been invited through to the next stage of the process within eight weeks of receiving this application. The amount of time it’ll take to receive a decision on the next stage will vary, depending on the size and complexity of your work but is likely to be within around four months. If you're successful, you will agree on a fixed start date with your funding officer.

This includes the http:// or https:// at the beginning.
