Has the money been spent correctly?
We carry out grant compliance monitoring on all our grants and will provide full details when we approve the grant, but this is a summary of the process:
One year grants
All charities are required to submit a Grant Report about how they used the funding within six months after the end of the grant so that they are eligible for future funding. The Grant Report asks for a breakdown of how you spent the grant against your planned budget.

Two or three year grants
All charities are required to submit a Grant Report for each year of their grant. The Grant Report is due one month before the end of each funding year so that we can release the funding for the following year. The Grant Report asks for a breakdown of how you spent the grant against your planned budget.

Learning from our grant making - mid and post grant visits
We are keen to learn from our grant making to ensure we add value to the work of the charities we fund and are able to bring about real improvements to the lives of disadvantaged people. We carry out mid and post grant learning visits to a selection of charities each year and if you are successful with your application, your local Grant Manager may be in touch to arrange a visit with your organisation during the course of the grant.
