How We Manage Applications
Decision Making Process
Applications will be considered by our Review Committee, who work to the Charity Commission C27 guidelines on trustee decision making.
Grants are awarded entirely at the discretion of the Review Committee and their decision is final.
Deadlines
The Review Committee meet regularly throughout the year. Each application is emailed directly to the members of the Review Committee for their immediate review and you can expect to hear from the Committee within eight weeks.
Notifications
All applicants will be notified of the outcome of their bid and successful applicants will have funding made available, once they have signed a grant agreement.
For all grants, we have a formal grant agreement.
For small grants, we advise applicants of their award and include their obligations in receiving it.

Reporting On Grant Usage
We ask all grant recipients to provide a brief report outlining how the funds were used and the positive impact achieved. The level of detail in the report will be tailored to the size and nature of the grant, ensuring the process remains as straightforward as possible.
Farcycles will review these reports to ensure the funding is used for its intended purpose and to understand the broader impact of our grants. This feedback helps us learn and refine our approach, enabling us to better support future projects and maximise the positive change we bring to the community.
