• The fund can be used to hire consultants or take training in almost anything: financial management, fundraising, accessibility, governance and more!
• Applications accepted on a rolling basis, with assessment dates every 3 months: November, February, May and August. 

How to apply

The application form has only six questions to make it fast and easy! Complete and submit it by Sunday, November 12, at midnight.
