Islington Giving's Community Panel Fund application form

WARNING: There is a problem with this application form which may mean any information inputted may not save and you might not be able to submit your application. Please copy and paste any answers into a word document and email this to laura.guy@cripplegate.org.uk

There are two sections to this application.

When completing section one (pages 2-5) please note that you are applying directly to Islington Giving's Community Resident Panel. The Panel is made up of Islington residents who have helped shape this funding programme and will assess all the applications and decide how to allocate funds. Please therefore avoid the use of complicated or sector specific language or acronyms which may not be understandable to everyone.

Section two (pages 6 and 7) contains information Islington Giving needs, such as contact details and checks on safeguarding and risk which will only be seen by Islington Giving staff. If you have completed a different Islington Giving funding application within the last year and have already shared information relating to these areas and nothing significant has changed please feel free to leave these sections blank.

Islington Giving is committed to working towards becoming a more inclusive funder. As part of this work we are interested in how organisations demonstrate that they are taking steps towards identifying and removing barriers preventing people living with disabilities from taking full advantage of your offer. For clarity, people living with disabilities, can be interpreted as anyone living with a physical disability, learning disability and/or mental ill-health.

Islington Giving is committed to ensuring our processes are accessible to all. Please contact us if you would like to discuss providing the information required in a different way.
