The Grants Team, and the wider Consortium Team, work alongside our Community Panel Members, managing engagement for the Fund and application support. All applications will go through a due diligence process by our Grants Team to ensure eligibility and to provide any relevant information to our Community Panellists.
Our Community Panel Members lead on decision-making, feedback and prioritisation for applications received. The members are a range of intersectional Trans and Non-Binary people who share diverse lived experiences, to ensure fair and equitable decisions can be made on which organisations to fund. The panel members will make a collective decision on whether to award a grant, based on eligibility and priority of need.
We aim to make decisions as quickly as is practicable. We anticipate this will be a maximum of 4 months from submitting your application to a decision being communicated.
If you have any questions about the Equity Fund, please get in touch with the Grants Team, who will be more than happy to help.
