Douneside Award Guidelines and Application Link
Applicants must follow these guidelines when submitting an application:
- Douneside awards are those that are of a total monetary value between £10,001 and £50,000 per award.
- Applications for this type of award will be reviewed every six months.
- The review timeline is available within the monetary pages of the website.
- Applicants will be informed of the outcome on completion of the review process.
Application Timeline
- Applications can be made at any time and will be considered at the next review.
- Dates will be strictly adhered to and any late submissions will automatically be deferred for consideration at the next Board meeting. Charities will be informed if this does occur and be given the option to withdraw.
Time Bars
- Successful applicants cannot apply to the Trust again until two years after the award payment has been made.
- Unsuccessful applicants cannot apply to the Trust again until one year after notification of a rejection.
- With a multi-year award the time bar applies from the date the final award payment was made.
- Withdrawn applications will not face a time bar.
