Funding Opportunities – 17 Oct 2017
SUEZ Communities Trust – Launch of our new application process
New and improved online application process launched. From now on, applications can be made at any time via a two-stage online application form. There are no longer any application deadlines.
The stage one application form can be completed quickly and captures brief information which will help to establish if a project is likely to be eligible for funding. When we receive a stage one application we will review it and respond within five working days. If your project appears to meet the funding criteria we will invite you to stage two. Stage two is a full application form which requires more detail about the project, along with supporting documents. When we receive a stage two application we aim to review it and make a funding decision within 5 to 16 weeks. For full details about the new application process please click ‘Apply for funding’ and follow the links to download the appropriate application guide. Source of information
