Application to the following funders is by letter unless it states that you must apply on their application form. Application forms can be obtained by sending a stamped self-addressed A4 envelope (SAE) to the funder. When applying by letter it’s a good idea to also enclose an SAE for any replies – some charities will not respond unless an SAE is enclosed.
