Please reconsider that you do not provide feedback on unsuccessful application. No feedback means we cannot learn from the process if we decide to apply again. We dont know if it is because we dont really fit your criteria, whether the evidence in our bid in any section was weak and/or whether some parts were strong. I would not expect a discussion on our bid, but the least you can do is give us some feedback. Perhaps there is a reason associated with this lack of feedback why less than 10% of applications are successful ? I am an experienced fundraiser and totally understand that not every bid will be successful but there should be learning from most applications especially of this nature and such funders have a key role to play in this relationship and process

Cannot praise the Tudor Trust (in particular the Head of Grant Making) enough. Their support has enabled us to support a vulnerable group currently unaided by any other service nationally. The funding application was straightforward, with someone at Tudor always on hand to answer questions and make recommendations. But it is the support you receive during the grant that really makes Tudor an exceptional funder - always available for a chat, always helping in sourcing appropriate support, going out of their way to help.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We do understand that it can be especially disappointing to be turned down at the first stage of our application process. We try to keep our guidelines as open and flexible as possible, so that a wide range of organisations doing a huge variety of work are able to apply to us, but the trade-off is that we receive many more good applications than we are able to fund. We have worked hard to keep our initial application as brief as possible, but know that a lot of work still goes into each application. One of the reasons for us being on Grant Advisor is to receive honest feedback on this open access approach, and we will be sharing your comments with our trustees and feeding them into a wider review process.
If you are considering applying again we'd encourage you to give us a call on 020 7727 8522 to chat through what you do, what you are looking for funding for, and possible reasons why we didn't take previous applications to second stage.
Reviewer UK712 - Grant Applicant - applied in 2017
The Tudor Trust is open to new ideas. They value honesty and we appreciate their openness to the process of learning by doing. We had funding for a post to drive a new approach for us; it was refreshing that we did not need to hide or bury our learning process when things that did not go as expected.

Communication is with the Director of the Tudor Trust by letter. Letters are promptly answered, full and thorough.

Maybe a discussion with us about the size of grant beforehand - a small but vital piece was not funded in our service, which had a disproportionate impact.
Understand that to grow and develop, an organisation and its people need to be free to test and try, and that sometimes things don't work out - but you have learnt, and can still grow.
Thanks for being our first reviewer and for sharing your experience of Tudor with others. We will be sharing all the ‘advice given’ by our reviewers with our staff team and trustees, and will reflect on all points raised.
