Application Process:
All organisations seeking funding must apply by completing information available
on the ALF web site.
The application process has two steps:
• Organisations submit an electronic copy as well as two hard copies of a two-page Letter of Inquiry but with no attachments (any organisation that is a Deductible Gift Recipient, that is working in the fields of endeavour outlined above and that is seeking funding for a project that suits the descriptions above, may apply);
• When invited by the ALF, certain organisations then submit a Full Proposal in electronic form as well as two hard copies with all attachments requested, based on their Letter of Inquiry. The ALF may request additional information after receipt of the Full Proposal and may request a visit to the organisation’s site.
Full proposals submitted by applicants who have not been specifically invited
to submit Full Proposals will not be considered.
The ALF holds all applications. Applicants must therefore send only those
materials requested as no materials in an application will be returned to the
applicant.
Decision Making Process:
• All Letters of Inquiry are reviewed by the Board of Management and the Medical & Scientific
Advisory Committee.
• Based on information in the Letters of Inquiry, some
applicants are invited to submit a Full Proposal.
• The Medical & Scientific
Advisory Committee reviews Full Proposals and makes recommendations to the
Board of Management.
• The Board of Management advises successful applicants
in writing.
• Unsuccessful applicants are also advised in writing.
Timing
Letters of Inquiry must be submitted by the date requested, normally within
30 days of the request. Only those applicants who are invited to do so
may submit a Full Proposal normally within 30 days of a request. Decisions
on funding will be made as soon as possible and successful and unsuccessful
applicants will know the outcomes of their applications after 3 months of submitting
a Letter of Inquiry.
