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
Ruth Blazye
Head of Community and Delivery

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

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?

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

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
