Scoring matrix
To ensure grant applications submitted to the Fund meet the required objectives, a systematic approach will be taken to assess applications. The grant application appraisal process will be made up of two parts:
- Part 1: Due Diligence
- Part 2: Criteria Scoring
Part 1: Due Diligence evaluates key governance areas that are essential to deliver strong, fair, safe, and ethical services. Applicants will be scored a ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ for each criteria. If any answer to any of the following is ‘No’ the application will not be considered under part 2.
Where necessary clarifications may be sought from the applicant on information provided within the application.
Part 1: Due Diligence
- Applicant is a voluntary, faith, community, social enterprise and not for profit organisation
- Applicant has been constituted for at least three months
- Applicant has a robust constitution in place which covers the scope of the proposed project
- Applicant has appropriate insurances in place
- Applicant has demonstrated that good policies and procedures are in place
Part 2: Criteria scoring will be conducted by a number of assessors allocating scores per criteria. Each assessor will individually score application forms independently without influence or prejudice from other assessors, colleagues, or any other person(s)/ organisation. All scores then be combined and presented to the panel as marks out of 100.
