Small Grants and Large Grants
(references beginning SM02, LG02)

This page contains information relevant to those awarded Copus grants in response to applications lodged for closing dates in November 2002 and January 2003, who were notifed of the success of their applications in Spring 2003.

For Small and Large Grants:

• The Copus logos can be downloaded from the website. Advice is also provided on Describing the Copus Grant Schemes.
• Publicising your project contains ideas and for how to promote your project, including advice on writing a press release and promoting your project on local radio.
• List of projects offered a grant from the Copus Grant Schemes 2002/3. If you would like to add or update the information published here, please contact us.
• The Terms and Conditions and the Guidelines are available from this site for reference.

Reporting requirements:

Please remember that an interim report is due every six months from the date of the offer of the grant (offer letters were dated either 31 January or 11 April) and it is your responsibility as grant holder to maintain that timetable.

For guidance, the report should consist of a brief account of progress to date, and anticipated progress over the next six months, including a financial summary. It should refer to the objectives and milestones set out in the original application, and should outline the costs spent to date, in particular those allocated to the Copus grant. The report should be a maximum of two sides of A4 in length, including the financial statement. We would prefer to receive it by email, though postal replies are also acceptable.

When your project has finished:

When your project has finished, please complete and return the Final Report Form (Word doc or rtf) together with:

• The report of the evaluation of your project. Please summarise the results of your evaluation in the Final Report Form. The report of the evaluation need not be specially written for us; if you have written an evaluation report for another funder or for internal purposes, that will suffice, providing the report covers the evaluation of the project funded by the grant.
• Copies of any press releases and press clippings.
• Samples of any publicity and other printed materials produced as part of the project.

The Final Report Form is a summary of your project outcomes that ensures we gather key evaluation data, which is verified and detailed in your main evaluation report.

We will review the Final Report Form and other materials against the Application Form and any intermediate correspondence. If the Final Report Form is completed to our satisfaction, and includes evidence that your project has met the objectives set out in your original application, then we will arrange for the second and final installment (the balance of what you have spent up to the limit of the grant) to be paid.
