Major Grants, Large Grants and Small Grants
(references beginning MA03, LG03, SM03)

This page contains information relevant to those awarded Copus grants in response to applications lodged for the closing date on 10 November 2003, who were notifed of the success of their applications in Spring 2004.

For Major, Large and Small 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 2003/4. If you would like to contact any other grant holder, or would like to add or update the information published on our website, please contact us.
• The Terms and Conditions, (with Guidelines as pdf) and Answers to Frequently-Asked Questions 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 and it is your responsibility as grant holder to maintain that timetable:

• Small and Large Grants: April and October each year
• Major Grants: a report should be provided through your mentor

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 together with:

• The Final Report Form:
  • Download Final Report form for Large and Small Grants (Word rtf document)
  • Download Final Report form for Major Grants (Word rtf document)
• 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.
