The Process
We want to make the grant-making process as open and straight forward as possible. So do not hesitate to contact us directly if you have any questions or want to discuss a potential application.
Our grant making process is managed by Community Foundation for Merseyside and a formal application has to be made through them by submitting an Expresssion of Interest form (see below).
Applications can only be made during an active grant cycle. We aim to have a minimum of two grant cycles each year.
All decisions are based on our stated aims and our published grant-criteria and are made by a panel of people who have been actively involved with the Olivia Rae Foundation during the year.
For further information about the application process please visit Community Foundation for Merseyside.
