Our work doesn't fit your funding priorities. Should we still apply?
If it does not fit please do not apply. This is not a good use of your time or ours.
However, we occasionally fund work to tackle poverty and inequality which falls outside our priorities, where the work is exceptional or addressing a new and emerging need. This may be unique work which no one else is undertaking; or work with a new issue/community; or developing a new innovative model of dealing with an issue. You will need to speak to us if you wish to apply under this heading. Generally we will only make a few grants under this category each year.
