We are a small grant making charity – how can we minimise the number of unsolicited applications?
You can add a message to your charity entry setting out what may be funded and what will not. And you can make it clear that you do not accept unsolicited applications. Click on Update my charity at the top right of your charity page and go to the ACTIVITIES section. We have added the following message to entries of all grant making charities: “Please note that many grant making charities do not accept unsolicited applications. Grant seekers should avoid making inappropriate funding applications which would be a waste of their own time and effort and that of the grant makers to whom they apply. Please read carefully the description of activities and grant making policy if provided before considering whether to contact this charity.
