The outcome of the review is hoped to be known by the end of November 2008, further details will be posted here and included in the PAVS newsletter when they are available.

Applications to the October deadline of the scheme will be accepted under the current guidelines/ application forms.

Revised criteria will be in place from April 2008.  Groups are therefore advised to contact PAVS to receive these details once they are announced or CFAP officials to find out how these changes may affect future applications.

The Millennium Stadium Charitable Trust Grant Scheme

Funding is available to voluntary, not-for-profit and charitable organisations for projects in Wales. The grant scheme focuses on four key areas: sport, environment, the arts and the community. Although all organisations will be considered on their merit, priority will be given to organisations that provide for people who are disadvantaged by age, gender, disability, ethnicity or social and economic circumstance.

Please note that if you have previously been awarded money you are not eligible to re-apply until 3 year after the date the grant was awarded.

The next deadline is 3pm on 3rd November 2008, applicants are advised that funding will be for projects starting no earlier than March 2009, the Trust cannot fund retrospectively.

One aspect that the trust will look for is the maximum benefit for the minimum cost so you will need to clearly breakdown your costs and define how much you need and the exact use of that money.

- what the project will do for the people of Wales

- clearly demonstrate the impact that this grant will have on the quality of life of those people who live and work in Wales

- particularly supports projects that are aimed at those who face discrimination or disadvantage

You need to be a not for profit organisation and your application will not be eligible unless a copy of your constitution and a copy of your most recent bank statement are enclosed with your completed application form. The name of the applicant needs to be the same as the name on the constitution and bank statement.

The trust strongly advises that you aim to have your application in the post at least ONE working week before the deadline.

It is likely to be a very competitive round and the standard of applications received is high, so they advise that you spend time reading the guidelines carefully and planning the contents of your application.

Application forms are available online at http://www.millenniumstadiumtrust.co.uk/ or from PAVS.
