Genetic Alliance UK Sustainability Grant

This application is for a final tranche of funding for Genetic Alliance UK from Wellcome, to complete our transition to sustainability.

We propose for this funding to be front-loaded, tapering over a three year period, providing support in the current financial year and the following two financial years. This would total £150,000 - matching our previous agreement.

This front- loading of the grant will provide the financial headroom necessary to move the emphasis for our fundraising activities to more substantial longer-term grants and investing in growing our income streams, while continuing progress is made in building our profile, developing our strategy and addressing our equality, diversity and inclusion priorities.

We intend to use this grant as core unrestricted income which will be used to support the activities of the senior management team and the fundraising team in delivering this proposal.

By the final year of the grant we anticipate that some of the growth in fundraising capacity will have been achieved, and the strategy review will be complete.
