Aims/priorities: We want to improve outcomes for people with heart disease around Greater Manchester, and to reduce its impact on lives beyond current NHS provision. To this end, we intend to fund a wide range of projects.
All applications must demonstrate a close alignment with one or more of NW Hearts Charity’s funding priorities, namely projects that benefit:
- people living with heart disease (diagnosed or undiagnosed)
- the family and carers of this group
- the specialist staff who care for them
- research into cardiac conditions
Who can apply? The application must demonstrate a strong connection to Greater Manchester (GM). The application should have an impact on one of the following:
- People or communities who live in GM
- Organisations located in GM and their staff / volunteers
We welcome applications from colleagues in:
- NHS primary, secondary and tertiary care
- Community groups, CIC’s, Registered Charities and other not-for-profit organisations.
- Research and educational establishments.
If you are applying from a community group, CIC, registered charity or other not-for-profit-organisation, you must be able to describe your level of expertise in heart disease and/or your existing relationships with NHS services who have this expertise. If you are unsure whether you meet this criteria, please contact NW Hearts Charity prior to submitting an application.
If you are applying for research funding, the principal investigator must have a contract with either a UK research organisation and/or an NHS organisation.
Grant amount: We will consider awarding individual grants up to a maximum of cost of £25,000. For our first funding round, it is likely that the following projects will be given greater priority:
- Projects that cost up to £10,000
- Projects that are likely to demonstrate rapid short-term benefit (within 12 months).
Application process: We have a 2-stage application process. Stage 1 is a brief expression of interest form and applications that meet our funding criteria will be invited to apply for the Stage 2 process.
