Process
The EEF application process has three stages:
| Stage 1. | All applicants must begin by submitting an application form via our website. Applications will be assessed by the EEF team on the basis of how well they match with the vision and role of the EEF. The most promising applications will proceed to Stage Two. |
| Stage 2. | In the second stage of the application process the applicants with the most promising applications will be invited to develop their proposal in partnership with an EEF Grants Manager. This collaborative stage is intended to create the best possible application. |
| Stage 3. | Applications will then be put forward to the EEF Grants Committee and Board of Trustees, who will make a decision on whether or not to fund the application. |
Timeline
The time it takes for a successful application to be processed will vary on a case by case basis but will typically be approximately six months between initial application and a grant being awarded.
For consideration in an application round an application must be received before the round deadline. Applications received after a round deadline will be considered as part of the subsequent application round.
