PLEASE INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING (and any relevant attachments):

 

TERMS & CONDITIONS:

 
1. Maximum grant application £11,000
2. No tuition fees to be included in the grant proposal. Up to £1,000 may be included for CPD and technical support from your chosen provider. The exact nature and cost of this support must be provided in a supporting document with full breakdown of accountability.
3. The vision set out in the proposal should reflect the school & its community. There is no RESTORE THE MUSIC standard "wish list" as it is expected that a grant application will reflect the interests and choices of greatest appeal to the student body of said school. The choices therefore must be accompanied by a clear explanation and rationale. 
4. Purchasing must not take place until the school is in receipt of the funds. 
5. A RESTORE THE MUSIC Grant award is a one off allocation and the funds must be spent within three months of receipt unless otherwise agreed with the CEO of the charity.
6. A financial report demonstrating receipt of funds and proof of purchasing must be submitted after the initial 3 months period. 
7. A Progress Report must be completed by the Head of Music/Music Lead and submitted annually for 3 consecutive years following receipt of a RESTORE THE MUSIC grant. 
Failure to submit either the Financial or Impact Report in a timely manner could result in the Grantee being excluded from future RESTORE THE MUSIC events and funding rounds.
8. RESTORE THE MUSIC reserves the right to withdraw funding and equipment from a Grantee school where said Grantee is believed to be operating in a manner not fit for purpose or in line with the original application.
