Ofte stillede spørgsmål

  • How does the application process work?

    We aim to make the application process as quick and easy as possible.

    The application form can be seen here. Once submitted, we will review it in the context of the fund criteria and other applications. If it is allocated funding, you will then have to post your project plan and team photo on your project page.

  • What are the reporting requirements and funding process?

    You are required to share the progress and outcomes of your project with us, the impact data will be shared with our partners.

    The funding allocated to your project is divided into two payments. The first (usually 70% of the total funding amount) is unlocked once your application has been reviewed and allocated funding by the ChangeX Team and you have completed some simple steps within 30 Days.

    The second payment (usually 30% of the total funding amount) can be accessed after you have demonstrated the outcomes of your project by completing a brief impact survey and sharing a summary and photos on the ChangeX website. This is usually 2 to 6 months after the first payment, although the timeline may vary and will be communicated during the process.

  • What can and can’t funding be used for?

    Funds can be used to cover:

    • Direct costs for the set-up or maintenance of the project. For example, funds can be used for space rental, insurance fees, seeds and planting materials, tools, training fees; pretty much any materials you might need for a project that benefits your community.

    Funds cannot be used to cover:

    • Cost of work that has already been carried out or anything that is not related to the setup and maintenance of the community project.
    • If applying to start a proven idea, funds may not be used to pay those working on the project.
    • Promotion of religious causes, non-charitable activities, sponsorship or fundraising events.
    • Promotion of or engagement in criminal acts of violence, terrorism, hate crimes, discrimination on the basis of race, national origin, religion, military.
  • How will I receive the funding?

    You must have a bank account to receive funding. Once you’ve successfully completed the required steps within 30 days, you can enter your bank details on the ChangeX website to facilitate the bank transfer through a secure payment provider. ChangeX will then review your application to make sure all elements have been completed successfully before making the transfer to your account.

  • How much funding will I get?

    The amount of funding available for your project depends on the idea you choose. Proven idea funding amounts align with the cost of starting each project in your region. The maximum amount of funding available per project is stated in the green box above.

  • How many projects can I apply for?

    Informal community groups and legally registered organisations can apply for and receive funding for one project at a time. You must report back on the impact of any previously funded projects to be able to apply to start a new project.

  • How can I ask for accessibility support?

    If you require any additional support to complete the application process or access resources please contact [email protected] and we will help.
