The charity trustees carry out an initial assessment of the application form and any supporting information
Provided the application form passes the initial assessment, the charity trustees begin further due diligence on the application and the applicant
The charity trustees make a decision as to whether or not to award a grant, setting out the amount and any conditions to be met by the applicant either immediately prior to payment or in the future, possibly prior to subsequent instalments being paid
