Pre-application Q&A webinar: 13 May 2024

JustRight Scotland

Watch a pre-application Q&A webinar we held on 13 May for organisations interested in applying to Esmée for support who have questions about our application process and guidance.

In the webinar, Esmée staff shared more about our application process along with what we’re looking for and what we consider when making decisions. We also spend the remainder of the time answering questions.

If you'd like to find out about future webinar dates, sign up to our newsletter.

We want to do more to save organisations from spending precious time applying to us when it is unlikely we will fund their work. We hope these webinars help organisations to better understand whether they should invest time in applying to us or if their efforts might be better focused on other sources of funding.
