How to apply

All applicants must complete the AKF Online Funding Application Form in full and provide all mandatory requested documentation. Applications must be completed in English. Applications that do not meet this minimum requirement will be deemed ineligible.

Applications must be received by the deadline specified in the advertisement of the grants round. The AKF has no obligation to consider applications received after the specified submission period.

In exceptional circumstances, applications received outside of the normal grant funding rounds may be considered by the AKF on an ad-hoc basis at its discretion and subject to available AKF funds.

Applications must be submitted using the AKF Online Funding Application Form. Applications should only be sent by fax or mail after consultation with the AKF Secretariat.

Preparing Your Application

Please ensure you have:

• Completed all mandatory fields on the application form.
• Attached two references that demonstrate an established record of achievement in the development and management of projects relevant to the proposed area of endeavour. Where possible, referees should comment on:
  • their relationship to the applicant;
  • their involvement or interest, if any, in the project;
  • the project's objectives and the strategies to achieve them; and
  • the applicant's ability to complete the project and to administer project funds.
• Clearly demonstrated how your proposal meets the objectives of the AKF.
• Made adequate provision for all likely expenses. The AKF will not normally consider requests for supplementary funding.

Applicants should be aware that AKF Board members may not be familiar with individuals or organisations or the field of proposed activity. As the AKF Board's decision will be based on the information provided, applicants should ensure all information provided is accurate, clear and comprehensive.
