Step 1: Send us an executive summary of your request.

            The executive summary should contain the following information:

• Brief history and background of your organisation;
• The project for which you are requesting funds;
• A project budget as well as the amount you are requesting from the DGMT;
• A copy of your NPO (Non-Profit Organisation) certificate and, if applicable, your PBO (Public Benefit Organisation) letter from SARS (South African Revenue Services);

This executive summary should be no longer than 3 pages (including the budget).

Step 2: Wait for our response.

Once we have received your executive summary, our Appeals Review Committee which meets regularly will review your request.  Should your request fall within our focus areas, we will send you a detailed application form to complete.

Step 3: Complete the application form in full and attach all the requested                              documentation.

PLEASE NOTE that each application form is project specific and has its own unique reference number and can therefore only be used once and cannot be copied.

Step 4: E-mail or post your completed application form to us.

Step 5: The DGMT staff will assess your application.

This may include an interview or a visit to the project by the DGMT's staff.

Step 6: Once the assessment has been done, an appeal is put forward to the trustees who meet at intervals of approximately three months.

Step 7: You are advised of the outcome of your application.

You should allow up to five months after the date of submission before expecting a decision.
