Application Process

The KPMG Foundation considers applications for the General Grants programme once a year.  Throughout the year, we capture all organizations keen to apply for funding on a database.  When the Trustees agree their funding date at the end of each year for the following year, we write to all organizations on our database providing them with details of the funding date, when applications must be submitted and any specific criteria defined by the Trustees.  If you would like your details added to our database then please email us at kpmgfoundation@kpmg.co.uk.

In addition to completing the application form, you should submit a detailed proposal (three pages maximum). This should document the following:

• An outline description (not exceeding two pages of):
  • What is proposed and what will be achieved with the grant
  • The need that will be tackled and how it was assessed
  • How long the project will take to complete
  • Who will carry out the work and who will benefit
  • Why your organisation is equipped to carry out the work
• How the proposed activity will be documented and evaluated (a condition of the grant will be that interim quarterly progress reports and a final report will be made available to the KPMG Foundation trustees)
• A detailed budget for the activity for which the grant is requested
• Your organisation’s most recent audited accounts for financial report required by the Charities Act (if the year covered by these accounts ended more than 12 months previously, an income/expenditure report for the most recent complete financial year must also be included).
• Your organisation’s most recent annual report, if one is published.

Assessments of Applications

The Trustees meet four times a year. Once a year the trustees will assess all applications and make their funding decisions. If the Trustees are keen to progress your application a project/site visit may be undertaken by either one of the trustees or one of the support team. In addition, the trustees may request that a Financial due diligence assessment be undertaken, by the Foundation Treasurer, of the charitable organisation seeking funding.

We must stress that you must meet our criteria, please do not apply if you do not meet it!
