extremely dissapointing news. im gonna get into it with her for sure - the
stuff mentioned feels like details theyve misunderstood (or we've not
communicated properly) that the tech partners are also community partners.
this feels like the strongest proposal ive coordinated so im very suprised
to not get through tbh!
will post again when i process a little bit,
kim

Subject: We cannot take your application for the UK Fund any further

Hello Kim and Stefan,
We appreciate the time you have taken to tell us about your idea. We have
reviewed your application in line with our programme aims and priorities.
It was decided that although it clearly has the potential to impact
positively on the communities you work with, the fit with UK Fund aims and
criteria is not as strong as other proposals we are considering for further
review. For this reason we will not be taking the idea further. We
appreciate that developing a full application is time consuming, therefore
we only ask organisations we’re likely to fund to invest this valuable time
and resource.
It was also considered that the scaling plans seemed unclear and that the
planned budget allocation for tech partners to receive more funding than
community partners does not align with the aims of the Fund. The proposal
also seemed less developed than others in measuring impact to date and
through this project going forward.
I know that this will be disappointing news and I should say that our
decision is no reflection on the value of work. Exceptionally strong demand
for the funding is necessitating some difficult decisions around the best
fit with the programme, projects already funded and ideas in the pipeline.
Thank you for the time and effort you have put into the proposal, and I
wish you success in sourcing alternative funding for your work. If it would
be helpful to have a brief chat about this e-mail, do let us know.
You might find it helpful to look at the advice and information on our
website about other funding. <https://www.tnlcommunityfund.org.uk/funding>
With best wishes,
Nadine
