If you are offered a grant

What to do if you're offered a grant

We aim to give you a decision on your application within 60 working days.

If you are offered a grant, we will send you a grant funding agreement for you to sign and return to us. This will set out the legal terms and conditions of the grant, including:

• the amount of the grant
• the outputs we have agreed for your project

If you need to change anything in the grant funding agreement over the course of the project, you must get written agreement from RPA first. If you don’t, we could end your agreement and reclaim any grant we have already paid.

You’ll get more information and help with this if you are offered a grant.

If your application is unsuccessful

We will write to you to tell you why. If you’re unhappy with the decision, please refer to our Complaints procedure on GOV.UK.
