The 6-step guide!
Important: The National Mikey Powell Memorial Family Fund cannot advise or assist applicants with completing applications - you should consult one of our Assessment Partners in this respect.
The following is a 'general guide' to the whole process rather than 'actions' needed to make applications for grants!
Step1: Applicant registers (One-time / Lifetime) and chooses an Assessment Partner un the process. You may use a different partner for each future application if you wish.
Step2: The Family Fund confirms registration with the Applicant and copies this to an Assessment Partner when required.
Step3: The Applicant and chosen Assessment Partner make contact to discuss needs and then progress to the next step.
Step4: The Assessment Partner can (where required) submit an online application or simply contacts the NMPMFF via email in the case of Crisis Grant applications.
Step5: The Family Fund contacts applicants and Assessment Partners with a decision.
Step6: The Family Fund may contact the Assessment Partner and/or applicants for voluntary grant feedback (within 3 months).
Note: Family campaigns must be registered with the National Family Fund to be eligible for consideration of our grants. (You only register once).
Are you seeking a Legacy Crisis Fund grant only?

There are conditions of grant that apply to the Legacy Crisis Fund.
Subject to available resources!
We strongly advise that all applicants contact an Assessment Partner before submitting an application for a grant from the National Memorial Family Fund.
