The first step in a community funding project is to collect applications from the community. We've built this application using the Form tool and have thought carefully about what information we need to collect from people.

Remember you will ultimately have to ensure the funding is well spent and a project is delivered, so make sure you focus on quality and not quantity. Ensure you have thought through the possible risks extensively and have appropriate terms and conditions and legal advice to manage the process.

This form below is an example of the application form a participant might fill out.
