# Community Resilience fund: current review process

- Applications arrive through the portal as PDFs, usually 30-45 pages including the project plan,
  budget and the organisation's accounts.
- Two programme officers score each application independently against the rubric. A moderation
  meeting resolves any difference of more than 3 points.
- The Grants Committee (trustees) makes all funding decisions.
- Policy GP-7: scorers must not see the applicant organisation's name, staff names or location
  until scores are locked, to reduce bias.
- Applicants' financial accounts are confidential and may only be seen by programme officers and
  the Grants Committee.
