Designated funds (e.g. Rainbow Fund) may assist individuals in emergency crisis.
- Application process
- Organisations must first be admitted as a member agency through a vetting process by the Admissions, Budgets and Allocations Committee. Each year, member agencies are invited to submit project proposals with funding requirements; all requests are vetted for approval. Member agencies also submit bi-annual progress reports plus annual reports, audited accounts and management letters.
- Deadlines
- Rolling annual cycle: member agencies submit funding proposals each year for the next financial year (baseline allocations and project funding of 1-3 year duration); designated emergency funds respond as needs arise
