The Trustees review all applications. This process involves a two step process of:  Rating each application, including whether it meets our guidelines and the quality of the application  Ranking each application, where there is more than one, which includes taking into account what our donors would expect us to fund and if it addresses one of the priorities listed on our website. Top ranked applications will be sent for to two independent, professional reviewers for comment. These reviews are the considered by the Trustees to make the final decision.
