Good to know

The 10th of each month is the cut-off, so the dates here are estimated from that rule. Priority goes to education, health and Asian culture; arts fit is unconfirmed.

Decisions are usually made monthly; the cut-off for applications is the 10th day of each month.

Checklist

What Milestone Foundation says you need:

• Apply on the online application system; paper applications are no longer accepted
• Submit accountability documentation within three months of the grant

Common things funders ask for, worth having ready:

• What exactly is the money for, and when will you spend it?
• How much do you need, and do you have quotes under three months old?
• Who benefits, and how many people?
• Your legal name, registration number and bank account in the group's name.
• A committee or board decision approving the application (some funders want a signed resolution).
• Your latest financial statements or annual return.
• Other funders you have applied to for the same thing.
