Watch a pre-application Q&A webinar we held on 3 February 2025 for organisations interested in applying to Esmée for support who have questions about our application process or guidance.
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.
The panel includes:
- Gina Crane, Director of Communications and Learning
- Genevieve Ford-Saville, Funding Manager – A Fairer Future
- Will Steadman, Funding Manager – Our Natural World
- Luna Dizon, Communications Lead
Links to the presentation, transcript and additional written Q&A are below the video.
