You are welcome to apply for a grant using the form below. We meet on a regular basis to discuss grants and our response should come within two months. There may be a longer period at the end of our financial year in March.
Please bear the following criteria in mind.
We typically award grants of between £300 to £700. But larger grants may be offered in exceptional circumstances.
For example, grants can be awarded for the general maintenance of an existing literacy initiative (e.g. topping up a school library or resourcing an adult literacy programme) or for one-off projects (e.g. a story telling programme, or buying in a collection of books for a school project) or for seeding a new project.
If you wish to apply then please complete this application form and return it to bookreliefuk@gmail.com with the subject as ‘grant application’.
On receipt of your application we may ask for further information before making a final decision. This could include financial information and/or a visit to premises being managed by you. We may ask for proof of expenditure.
If we decide not to award a grant we will write with our reasoning. Refusal does not preclude further applications at a later date.
