August 17, 2017 —

Check your emails and make sure you’ve received confirmation that your online application has been received

250 words, approx. 1.5 minutes to read.

Applications for the next round of funding are now closed.

When you finished your Local Community Fund online application you’ll have seen a screen, which thanked you for your application. Unfortunately, we’ve realised that a fault in the system means not all completed applications were saved.

How to check your online application was received

1. Check for an email from ‘noreply@causes.coop.co.uk’ or search the subject header ‘Thanks, We’ve got your Co-op Local Community Fund application’. This email contains the following message:

Hello Name Surname
Thanks for your application.
Now we’ve got it, we’ll be working with the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF).
CAF might contact you if we need further information or to ask for your bank details if you’re not registered with them.
You don’t need to do anything else for now, we’ll contact you by November 2017 to let you know if you’re successful.
Many thanks
Co-op Local Community Fund Team

2. If you can find the email there’s nothing you need to do – we’ll be in contact in November.

3. If you can’t find the email – fill in this simple form and we’ll check if you’re one of the causes affected.

We’re keeping applications open until 30 August 2017.

We know you’re busy people and we’re really sorry to have to ask you to review your application, but we don’t want you to miss out on the chance to benefit from our Local Community Fund.

If you have any questions please comment below or tweet us at @Coopuk

    I am trying to fit in the application form for Co-op local causes Community Fund Grant on behalf of Braunton & District Museum but when I get to the page to fill in bank details, once I have filled these in and press “Continue” I get an error message using both Safari & Chrome browsers that I can’t continue with the application – which closes on 12th July!

    Can you help me?

    Regards,

    Willie Bradford

    Hi Ruth,

    Thanks for letting us know about this. I made an application of behalf of King’s Arms Project (Bedford) in August 2017 but don’t appear to have a confirmation email. I tried to access the online form on the blog but it doesn’t appear to be working. Our postcode is MK42 9AZ and we are currently receiving support from the fund for a different project.

    Is there any chance that you can confirm if the application has been received?

    Thanks,

    Steve

        Thanks Catherine. The message I get is:

        ‘You need permission

        This form can only be viewed by users in the owner’s organisation.

        Try contacting the owner of the form if you think that this is a mistake. Learn more.’

        I’ve tried accessing the form both through a windows laptop (chrome and windows edge browsers) and through an Iphone too.

        Would there be another way of doing this or a way round this?

        Thanks

    Hi there,
    When I enter our charity postcode, it seems like you are not accepting applications anymore for the area. However, when I checked yesterday it was still open with a closing date on the 30th August, any reason for this?
    Many thanks

    Hello – we are the current charity partner of 3 of the Leeds city centre stores. I was given the deadline of 8th August to reapply to be considered for the next round of support. I went onto the website on the morning of that day to submit my application and it informed me that applications were closed for this area. I was gutted as we really wanted the opportunity to continue the great work the stores are doing for us and build on that relationship. The store manager has asked me to look at trying again in case it was this technical error but it is still not letting me.
    Can you help?
    Thanks

    I have made an application and have no email confirmation. I have submitted the form twice to see whether you have received my application but have no response from that either. Do I need to apply again? Or will you advise soon whether you have my application for Artbeat Studios Hawick?

    Hello Ruth, I filled in a Local Community Fund Application online application around the 1st August for the Bute Elderly Befrienders part of our Cowal Elderly Befrienders SCIO project. I have had no confirmation so far. I also filled in the ‘simple form’ mentioned above but have not had a reply from that either. Can you advise me here? Thank you Robin

    Hi there,

    I applied and was sent an email confirming my application was received and I would be contacted in January 2018 to advise if my application had been successful. However, your email says people would be contacted in November 2017.

    Can you clarify my application for the Chris Mitchell Foundation was received and whether I’ll find out if it was successful or not in November 2017, or January 2018.

    Kind Regards

    Hi – I completed your online application form for the Local Community Fund and have not heard anything. I also completed the form attached to this email to check if you received my application and have not heard back from this either! Shall I just go ahead and resubmit my application from the start to be on the safe side?

      Hi Rebecca. To be clear, you applied to the Local Community Fund but did not receive a confirmation email so you filled in the form linked to from this blog post and haven’t heard back from us regarding that form submission? ^Jordan
