The Ulverscroft Foundation
Details
The Ulverscroft Foundation supports projects that help visually impaired people. Within any group of people there will be an element of visual impairment; grants can only be considered if the VI element is significant.
In making a decision about whether to support an application, our Trustees will take the following factors into account:
- Sustainability
- Value for money
- Financial viability
- Matched funding
- Scaleability
- Accessibility
- Safeguarding
- Monitoring and evaluation
Your application should include at least the following:
- details of your current service to visually-impaired people, if any, and how it will be improved or enhanced by the proposed project.
- an estimate if possible of how many blind and visually-impaired people currently use your service, and how many will use it in the future;
- any funding received or pledged to date for the project in question, and the names of other organisations to which you have applied;
- a copy of your latest annual report and accounts;
- confirmation that your organisation has a safeguarding policy for vulnerable children and/or adults, as appropriate;
- confirmation that your organisation has an equal opportunities policy.
