The Association of Taxation Technicians
At a glance
Key takeaways
- If your work centres on tax education or tax administration, the funder's themes match, and it expects your activity to focus clearly on one or more of its strategic aims.
- Its annual giving is £53,000 according to the annual report, so keep your request proportionate to what you will deliver, and show value for money, clearly expressed outputs and outcomes, and the number of people likely to benefit.
- Send your application to the Chief Executive, as applications may be made at any time up to 31 August, and the Finance Steering Group considers them; the Association does not expect more than one application a year.
- Do not apply if you are a governmental organisation, if you are not value-driven, if you do not principally reinvest your surpluses to further your aims, if your aims are not similar to the Association's, or if you have no common, parallel or related objectives and activities, and do not donate to funds of political parties.
- The grant range and geographic focus are not stated, so check fit with the Association directly before you invest time in a full application.
