Funding Applications

Buchan Development Partnership can work with your group to help write funding applications.

Below are some tips for writing your applications.

What Makes a Good Application?
A good way of working out what to say is to put yourself in the funders position. What would you want to know?

Make your application clear and concise, who is applying, how much the project wants and what is it for.

A clear summary gives the impression you know what you’re doing.

• Demonstrate a need for your project.
• Show that your project is well planned.
• Accurately cost your project.
• Provide evidence of good management.
• Show how the project will make a difference.

A funder will want to know:

• what will be done,
• by whom,
• when.

A funder will also want to see you can manage money and use it efficiently. They will want to see a budget. Make sure your application is

• it’s clear
• it’s comprehensive
• it adds up
• it’s realistic
• it shows any other funders involved
• it shows other non-money support. (In kind)

Remember to keep a back-up copy of your application.
