How to apply

Please only apply if you have received funding from Jim Joel Fund in the past.  If you have not received a grant before please contact us prior to submitting an application.

Applications for funding to the Jim Joel Fund are submitted online and applications are open once a year throughout the month of April.  Our application form takes roughly 20 minutes to complete. You should be prepared to answer questions on your organisation’s most recent financial accounts as well as written answers on how the grant will be used to help your beneficiaries.

At any stage during the application process, you may save your progress and return to it before applications close. A unique link will be generated to allow you to return to your form from any computer and complete your answers. Once your application has been submitted, your answers cannot be edited.

Before beginning your application, make sure you:

• Meet our eligibility criteria
• Are a South African-based NGO working in ECD
• Can demonstrate impact and sustainability of your programme
• Submit all required documents during the open call (April annually)
