Before you bid:
You will need a few things in place:
- A group of people with ideas. Funders tend to fund groups not individuals
- A bank account in the name of the group with two signatories
- A constitution (written rules of your group) – including a “dissolution clause”
- At least three people who will play the roles chair, treasurer and secretary
