Apply for Funding Apply for Standard Funding Applying for Standard Funding We work closely with Leeds Teaching Hospitals to ensure funding is awarded to projects that will have the most impact on patient care and wellbeing, making best use of charitable donations. If you are successful in your application for funding, we will work with you to capture a case study about the impact of funding to share with our donors and supporters. This is an important part of the process and helps us attract future donations and support. Below we have outlined the key steps in applying for standard funding. There is a different process if you are applying for Research & Innovation funding – please see here for the process and application form. We are open for applications!
