Frequently asked questions

FAQ

Do I have to be a registered charity to apply?
You are eligible for a grant if you are:
  • a registered charity.
  • a community interest company (or CIC).
  • an individual funding a not for profit project, primarily to benefit a community or with a view to pursuing an environmental cause or social purpose, rather than to make a profit for self-interest.
Can I apply for a grant to fund studies or training?
Where the studies or training relate directly to the charitable project which is being delivered under the terms of the grant, this is acceptable.
Can we schedule a meeting to discuss if we are eligible to apply?
We ask all applicants to please complete the online application form where there will be an opportunity to ask any questions. We generally do not set up meetings prior to receiving an application.
How long will it take to know the final decision?

We will acknowledge your application by email once we have received it.

You may be invited to a Zoom with a couple of our team to chat about your application in more detail.

We aim to respond to all applications to say whether or not they have been successful within 4 to 6 weeks of the published closing date.

Where is the money coming from?
The funds are from the Enjoolata Foundation.
Will you offer feedback on all applications received?

You will hear back from us whether your application is successful or not, however unfortunately we are not always able to provide applicants details of why they were not successful.

We review every application received and filter out those that do not meet our criteria.

However, due to the number of applications received we are not able to award everyone that goes through to the second round where it will be reviewed by at least three members of the team.

We are not able to offer individual feedback on unsuccessful applications, other than we like to keep an even balance in the areas we fund and most likely there were stronger applications who we have chosen to support because we felt they will have a greater impact on the community and environment.

Unsuccessful applicants may apply again.

What happens after I submit the application?
Once submitted, you will receive an email confirming we have received your application and that a member of the Enjoolata team will be in contact after the closing date.
How will I receive the funds?
If successful, the funds will be received via a bank transfer.
Can I apply again if I have previously applied?
Yes.
What if I applied before and was unsuccessful?
You may apply again, but please consider the application process and questions asked to support your application.
Do you offer ongoing funding?
We do not offer ongoing funding, however you may apply for a further grant.
What if I need more money than the amounts specified on your funding page?
It is rare we give funding above the amount specified on the application form.
I see you work with international partners but then it looks like you are limited to Brighton and Lewes. Can you explain it?
Our centre of effort is to focus on the Brighton, Hove and Lewes area, however our founder has some existing partnerships with organisations in both Kenya and Nepal which she continues to support.
