Grant application process:

• If you are interested in submitting a grant application please do contact us first. It may be that your project is already covered by funding within one of the scheme’s other projects. We can also advise you on your application and guide you through the process
• Please ensure that when you submit your application it is a strong as it can be with match funding in place, supporting evidence and a clear idea of when you can commence; if not we may have to defer a decision and ask you to submit further information
• There are quarterly deadlines each year which will be on the last Friday of the month in February, May, August and November; in 2022 they will be:
  • Friday 27th May
  • Friday 26th August
  • Friday 25th November
• Each application will then be considered by a small panel drawn from the Friends of the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust and the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority
• The decisions will then be reported to the Westmorland Dales Landscape Partnership Board at its meetings in July, October, January and April, after which the decision will be confirmed
• At that point you will be asked to complete a grant acceptance form and agree a programme and reporting requirements with the Westmorland Dales Landscape Partnership team
