Do you have ideas for a project, event or initiative that you believe will improve outcomes for students and young people facing SEMH challenges within the engage in their future national network of member schools?
The engage in their future Grant Request scheme provides member schools with the opportunity to apply for funds to support local and regional events and initiatives that benefit the engage in their future community.
The Grant Request scheme is intended to enable member schools to apply to access centrally held funds in order to deliver events and initiatives that are conceived, organised and delivered at a local and regional level in order to support the network of engage in their future members and their school communities, as well as the organisation itself.
This means that engage in their future member schools are able to request funds that will either fully cover, or contribute towards, a specific event or initiative that they are organising and would like to deliver. It could be anything from booking a conveniently located meeting room for a regional networking event, to covering the costs for a student inter-school challenge, to paying for a pitch at a local event to raise awareness of engage in their future.
The project doesn’t have to be billed as engage in their future , and the grant doesn’t have to be the sole source of funding, but it must directly benefit or support the organisation and its wider membership in a clear and accountable way.
The process to apply for funds couldn’t be more straightforward, but it is strongly recommended that the involvement of the Regional Representative be sought at the earliest possible opportunity for all Grant Request applications (details about the Regional Representatives can be found here).
Regional Representatives will be able to provide guidance and support throughout the application process and bring a broader national perspective to the application. They will be able to provide advice around the content of the application, identify areas of impact and benefit to the engage in their future community and contribute to discussions around the level of funding being requested. Remember, only applications for events, projects and initiatives that support the wider engage in their future membership will be considered.
We also recommend that you read through the Terms and Conditions as this document provides further information about what happens at each stage of the process.
When you have liaised with your Regional Representative and are happy with the content of your grant funding request, complete the details in the boxes provided below and click submit. The form will then be shared with the National Committee who will have ten working days to read, review and respond with their decision. Once all the decisions and feedback have been collated, you will be advised of the outcome of your application within five working days. Whether it’s accepted in full, accepted in part, or declined you will receive a full explanation of the reasons behind the decision and details about what happens next.
If the request is approved and when the event has taken place, you will also be asked for feedback about how it went and the contribution the funding made.
So if you’ve spoken with your Regional Representative and read through the Terms and Conditions, complete the form below and see if you could benefit from an engage in their future grant.
