Assessing grant applications
How grant applications are assessed can depend enormously on the size of the foundation, as well as on the mission and operational models adopted. There is no magic formula, but there are some key principles which underpin good practice. This course is for those who assess grant applications and want to explore the underlying principles, the challenges involved and to learn from different approaches.

How grant applications are assessed can depend enormously on the size of the foundation, as well as on the mission and operational models adopted. There is no magic formula, but there are some key principles which underpin good practice, focusing on two important questions:
How do we ensure the assessment process is fair and balanced?
What information do you need to make a considered judgement?
This course will:
- provide an overview of the core principles of good practice in assessing grant applications
- explore the challenges and dilemmas of different assessing approaches
- enable you to share information, ideas, challenges and possible solutions when assessing grant applications
- draw on the experiences both of the facilitators and participants, with a mixture of presentation and small group-based discussions and exercises
