In the process of completing a funding application for Peabody at the moment. Was doing last night, but forgot to save, pressed the wrong button on the keyboard and lost most of the information. Had to restart.
Needs to be in by Tuesday, but Peabody have been very helpful. I will complete it tonight and send off to my board to have a peek, as well as Peabody to look over before I submit.
These applications - and we have done a few - can be fraught with stress. We feel we tick the relevant boxes for what they want to fund, and definitely are looking at similar outcomes. We also feel we have the capabilities, strengths and responsibility to handle the funds appropriately. Ultimately, it is down to the funders to agree, and that can affect how we go about the next few months.
There are large sections on who we are, what we do, how we can help them achieve their goals, as well as our history, achievements and expertise.
It is for a total of £10,000 - and we will be applying for that amount, and I have already constructed a detailed spreadsheet showing the expenditure clearly. Of course, we may not be awarded that total, if in fact anything. It could really help us in the short run though. And possibly open doors.
Anyone who has had to apply for funding will know just how apprehensive and terrifying the whole procedure can be. However, it is just another challenge to overcome in reality.
