Are there deadlines for applications?
There are no deadlines for applications, requests can be submitted at any time. Due to the volume of applications received and to help keep administrative costs to a minimum only successful applications will be notified. If you have not had a response within 3 months then your application has been unsuccessful.
Who makes the decision on what projects are supported?
Our Trustees make the decisions on what requests are supported.
What is the minimum and maximum size of grant you can apply for?
There is no minimum grants size you can request. However due to the amount of funding available our maximum grant size is currently £2,500.

Do you fund organisations that are not charities?
The Andy Thomson Foundation will only fund registered charities.
Do you fund running costs?
Due to the funds available we will only fund running costs if they are part of a project application.
