Application timetable for the Financial Inclusion programme
Trustees meet quarterly to consider outline applications and to decide which proposals they would like to progress to the next stage. For administrative reasons, we have created a series of cut-off dates; outline applications received by these dates will be put on the agenda for the next Trustees' meeting.
For the first tranche of our 2009-2012 programme, the deadline for receipt of applications was Friday 13th November 2009; decisions on these applications were announced in December.
The cut-off dates for receipt of applications during 2010 are as follows:
- Friday 12 February;
- Friday 7 May;
- Friday 30 July; and
- Friday 22 October
We aim to acknowledge all outline proposals within 10 working days of receipt and confirm when you may expect to receive notification of the decision.
Please do not call us for the outcome of your application: we will send you written notification as soon after the Trustees’ meeting as possible.
Briefly (and for information only), second stage applications are in the form of a more detailed version of the outline proposal, with supporting evidence. These are fully assessed by a member of our staff prior to presentation to our Trustees for a decision. If you are successful at the outline stage we will send you some more detailed instructions on how to prepare a second stage submission, together with an indication of the timetable that will apply.
