What applicants need to know!

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 Crisis Grant only?

In order to apply to the Crisis Family Fund you must first be registered.

If you are already registered and have a Campaign Reference Number (CRN), you do not need to complete the application form, simply contact an Assessment Partner who will advise you.

There are conditions of grant that apply to the Crisis Family Fund.

Subject to available resources!

Feedback By Some Grant Recipients!

"I would like to thank the Fund on behalf of my family. We used the money to host a family get-together over the festive period to remember our loved ones. We are inspired by your charity - What you've achieved is tremendous"

John Burke-Monverville, Father (Monerville brothers)

Button
"Thanks for your generosity and helping us with Jack's Living Memorial, and the five children in Bali who'll benefit from the funds received. It has brought his spirit close to us, and we know he would be very proud this is happening in his name"

Anna Susianta, Mother of Jack Susianta

Button
"The funding has helped us to set up the UNGRIPP campaign website. We hope this will help us to push for change and is in memory of my brother, Tommy. We can't thank you enough for the funding that helped this to become possible"

Donna Mooney, Sister of Tommy Nicol

Button
"To all that made it possible for the donation that I received from the Family Fund - thank you. It has been put to good use. I badly needed new memorial garden fencing before the winter arrived. it's now been delivered and put in place"

Jan Butler, Mother of Lloyd Butler

Button
"Thanks to the Family Fund for its financial support at such a difficult time. Funds went towards buying much-needed carpets - campaigning for so long, I neglected my home. I also received a grant towards my book on Christopher's case"

Janet Alder, sister of Christopher Alder

Button
"The grant helped to pay bills that I'd fallen behind with due to the death of my son, and not being able to work. The grant was extremely useful and enabled my family breathing space and not having the debt distraction. We are very grateful"
