How to Apply

Please note that we receive a large number of applications and some applications will therefore be unsuccessful. We will endeavour to communicate the trustees’ decision to all applicants within 8 weeks of the closing date.

For support with your application

Please contact the Small Grants Officer, Pamela Kalema, at APCA by telephone +256 312 264978 or email at: truecolourssmallgrants@africanpalliativecare.org.

Deadlines

Applications are accepted twice a year. The deadline for applications in 2020 are 01st March and 01st September respectively. True Colours will then review applications in April and October.

What to expect if you are successful in applying for a grant

If you are successful in applying for a grant, you will be notified by APCA who will send you a grant approval letter and agreement outlining the terms and conditions of the grant.

Once the grant has been paid to your organisation, you will be required to report on the progress of the grant on a quarterly basis and to provide a financial report on how the grant was used. This will be explained in your agreement.

What to do if your application is not successful

If your application is not successful, you will receive a letter of regret from APCA. Please feel free to ask for feedback on your application.

Failure to succeed on one grant round does not stop you from applying for the next round.
