Grant Application Form
The grant application form for 2025 is being hosted on Google Forms this year, and it is hoped that this will make it clearer and simpler to complete. The form can be accessed via this link: Grant Application Form 2025
If you are unable to complete the grant application form online, or prefer to complete a paper copy, you may download a blank PDF version, which can then be printed off and completed by hand. Please follow this link to download a PDF version of the grant application form: Grant Application Form 2025 PDF Version
But if you do opt to complete a paper copy rather than complete the form online, please also email us your details so that we can include you on our list of applicants, since completion and submission of the online form automatically updates our spreadsheet record of applicants. We don’t want applicants submitting paper copies to be missed off the list. Please email your details to webstercharity@gmail.com
