Grant Funding Application Planner and Bid Template
About this document
Grants from councils, trusts, lotteries and businesses fund much of what community groups do. Funders want to see a clear need, a well-planned project, realistic costs and evidence of good governance. This planner helps you prepare strong applications, keep your answers consistent across funders, and meet the reporting conditions once you are funded.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
