In evaluating a new charity, the UKFC reviews its mission, vision, and by-laws; current activities, financial statements, and personnel, to ensure your organisation is suitable to receive grants from a UK Registered Charity. In this process, the UK Fund for Charities makes no judgements as to the value of the work you do or the capacity of your organization to do it.
Only once all the necessary paperwork has been received and the evaluation fee processed will the Board of the UKFC then consider your organisation’s application for evaluation. You will be notified of the outcome shortly after the board meeting has taken place.
