Apply for a grant

Who can apply

The foundation supports Bulgarian groups and institutions working with marginalised populations. Applicants do not need to have worked with the club before; the foundation has welcomed proposals from first time applicants. The project should fit one or more of the five focus areas and should be delivered by an organisation with a clear connection to the community it serves.

What makes a strong proposal

• A specific need, described in plain language and supported by the organisation's own knowledge.
• A realistic plan with a budget that matches the request.
• A clear description of what will change for the people involved.
• A named person responsible for delivery and reporting.
• A request that the foundation can fund within its available resources.

The process

1. The foundation announces a call when a funding round opens. Dates are published with the call.
2. The organisation sends a proposal using the format set out in the call.
3. The charity team reviews the proposal and may ask follow up questions.
4. The board approves the selected projects.
5. The foundation issues a grant agreement and the partner begins delivery.
6. The partner submits a report at the end of the project.

Before you apply

Read the call carefully and check that your project fits the current focus areas. If you are unsure, contact the office before preparing a full proposal. A short conversation can save time for both sides.

Enquiries

The form below prepares an email to the club office. It is an enquiry, not an application. The office will confirm whether a call is open and what documents are required.
