The first section of this form is designed to help us assess the quality of your project and how you meet the set criteria. The second section is designed to help you in the planning of your project.
Please read the criteria for Action Grants carefully before completing this section. NB: If you respond 'Yes' to any of the first four questions, you should not continue to complete the form as you are not eligible for a grant.
*	Does your project involve activities planned by an organisation rather than an individual?
	Yes	No
*	Does your project involve activities aimed at fundraising?
	Yes	No
*	Are you requesting equipment purchase or salaries?
	Yes	No
*	Does your project focus on raising awareness with an audience outside the UK?
	Yes	No
Briefly explain how your project meets our criteria:
*	Increase knowledge and understanding about global issues (e.g. one of VSO's Goal areas, climate change, refugees, or trade; and the impact of our actions on others).
*	Challenge the attitudes and behaviours that perpetuate global poverty (e.g. negative stereotypes about the developing world, challenging racism or promoting cross-cultural understanding).
*	Inspire others to take positive action against poverty (e.g. changing consumer behaviour, campaigning, introducing greener policies).
Projects that are sustainable and produce re-useable resources have a greater impact. We will give priority to projects that demonstrate they can achieve the following:
*	Will your project produce resources that could be used by other VSO supporters in future?
*	Will the impact of your project activities be sustainable after your project has finished?
Project Aims and Objectives
*	What is the overall aim of your project - what do you want to do?
*	What are the specific objectives of your project (identify the changes you want to bring about, in terms of knowledge, attitude, behaviour/action)?
Project Audience
*	Target audience/groups (these will be the beneficiaries of your project and should be target groups in the UK. State age range and social group, etc.)
*	Indirect audience (all those who you anticipate could support or be aware of your project e.g. the wider community / website viewers / media etc.)
Project support
*	Project support (please provide details of any individuals or organisations you have identified to support you in the development of your project.)
*	Project resources (what resources do you intend to use?)
*	Project activity planning: please provide details of all the activities you intend to deliver, giving a date for each activity.
Project Impact and Reporting
*	Measuring project impact: This is a crucial part of your project! Please give details of the kinds of evaluation tools you might use to measure whether you have met each of your objectives, and examples of the evidence you would need to demonstate the impact of your project. Ensure you put your objectives in list form with an objective, tool/method of evaluation, and evidence of success for each objective listed. (E.g. Objective 1 = Increase awareness of Fair Trade amongst Year 9 students Tool/method of evaluation = Newspaper articles and artwork produced in lessons Evidence of success = Quotes from children about changed attitudes; 80% of class say they will encourage parents to buy Fair Trade products.
*	When will you be submitting your Final Report? NB: you are expected to submit your Final Report within one month of completing your project. All Final Reports must be in by 28th February 2009 at the very latest due to financial year reporting deadlines. Please bear this in mind in your project planning.
*	Do you have any specific questions / support needs in relation to your project?
