Many funders require supporting documents as part of the application process. Uploading these to your Library upfront helps us submit applications faster and avoid last-minute delays.
All documents should be uploaded in Library → Documents. Support article here.
1. Funders often require the same documents
Most grant applications ask for:
Governing documents
Safeguarding policy
Other compliance policies (e.g. equality, health & safety)
Latest annual accounts
By uploading these once to your Library, we can reuse them across multiple applications - saving time and reducing admin for everyone.
2. Faster submissions and fewer delays
When documents aren’t available, applications can be delayed or missed entirely.
Having everything stored in the library allows us to:
Attach required documents immediately
Respond quickly to funder follow-up requests
Keep submissions moving without chasing paperwork
This is especially important for tight deadlines.
3. Upload additional supporting materials
In addition to required documents, it’s good practice to upload:
Impact data and reports
Past funding applications (successful or unsuccessful)
Project plans, budgets, and delivery timelines
Evaluation reports or outcomes summaries
These help us:
Reuse strong language and evidence
Demonstrate impact more clearly to funders
Build stronger, more consistent applications over time
What you need to upload
Please upload all relevant documents to your library including:
Governing documents
Safeguarding policy
Any other required compliance policies
A copy of your latest annual accounts
Any documents that help us understand your organisation.
If a document isn’t ready yet, upload it as soon as it’s available.
