Multi-year funding

Applicants who can clearly demonstrate the successful completion of another project using public funding may apply to the SMF for funding for up to three years.

Those organisations that do not have a proven track record in successfully delivering a project using public funding must apply for one year only unless there is sufficient support from an ‘umbrella’ organisation (as referred to on page 3).

If your application for multi-year funding is successful, then funding for subsequent years will be conditional upon annual SMF assessment panel approval.  The SMF assessment panel will assess your project’s achievements for the previous year(s) and ensure that it has met its objectives before approving funding for the coming year.

The SMF will not fund the same project for more than three years in duration.  The SMF is not a long-term funding source.  Applications for long-term projects must demonstrate a strategy to ensure the project is sustainable beyond the period
applied for.

See page 12 for information about seeking other sources of funding.  

Note:

When preparing your application please note that there is a limited amount of funding for subsequent years.  If your project is approved to progress to Stage 2, the panel may decide to reduce the amount of funding you have requested.  This may mean altering the scope/scale of your project to reflect any reduced funding.
