Where your donation goes
Your donation: where it goes and what it does. Through various annual actions, the public contributes money so that we can make a difference for the children and young people who need us the most.
1
Setting our grant budget
We set out our ‘budget’ at the beginning of our grant making year in January, but individuals and organizations can apply to us for funding at any time, throughout the year.
2
Your donations
The public generously raises and donates money for our annual Appeal.
3
Application reviews
Although the money takes a while to come in, our trustees, start assessing funding applications, based on our strict criteria. It takes less than a year to allocate money raised to projects.
4
Paying out the money
Once allocated, we don’t give out the money to projects all at once. We pay out the money in instalments over the lifetime of the grant so that we can do some checks and balances and make sure the cash is really doing what it’s supposed to, making a difference to young lives. It’s the really responsible way of doing things.
5
Keeping us running
Whilst the money is waiting to go to projects, we keep it in the bank which earn a return.
6
Helping children and young people across Cyprus the best they can be.
That way, your donations help us be there for children and young people who need us most. Then we start all over again!
