All grant applications will be subject to an initial assessment to ensure they meet the basic criteria for funding. Grants will be considered by the Trustees at their meetings, and the Trustees will aim to email all applicants informing them of the outcome of their application for funding within three months of the date of the application.
Applicants should note that, as with many other charitable trusts, Fat Beehive Foundation always receives far more applications than it has funds to support. Even if a project fits within the criteria and priorities of the Charity and a detailed assessment has been made, the Charity may still be unable to provide a grant.
The Trustees will not be obliged to provide an explanation to the applicant should their application be unsuccessful.
