Maypole Fund Application Form - 2017

The Maypole Fund Application Form

Guidelines for Maypole Fund Applications

Please read these guidelines carefully before filling out the application form on the following pages.
Your application must be for a project which falls within our AIM/S and fulfil one or more of our
CRITERIA. Much as we would wish to support all worthwhile women's projects, our funds and
constitution do not permit this. As we receive more applications than we have money to fund, we
are especially looking for imaginative, non-violent and politically expressive projects.

We welcome applications from women for projects and activities that meet the following MAYPOLE
FUND AIM/S:

anti-militarism;
action against the arms trade;
action against nuclear weapons and weapons systems;
creating a culture of peace and the prevention of conflict and war;
action to support disarmament policies, processes and related initiatives.

We have chosen the following CRITERIA to help us prioritise and decide between applications:

Young womens groups/individuals and lesbian groups/individuals;

Activities or projects not yet started;
Women who do not have access to other sources of funding or whose projects find it difficult
to attract funding from elsewhere;
Imaginative/creative activities;
Individual and small womens groups over larger established womens groups,

PLEASE NOTE: We do not make contributions to general funding, and we do not give grants for
individual women living in the global North to attend courses/conferences or to travel for personal
interest. We only fund women.

Please fill in the application form and send it by email. When filling in the application form, please:

Describe clearly the activity you would like the Maypole Fund to support.
Show how your activity fits in with Maypole's AIMS and say how the CRITERIA listed above
apply to your project.
State clearly the total amount you need. Our maximum grant is 750.
Give a breakdown of the costs.
Do not exceed four A4 pages.
