Is this a real application or just a test?

This is a live application process. Any organisation submitting an application will be considered for funding.

What if we spot an issue with the platform?

Please contact the Grants Team as soon as possible so we can record and address the issue.
 

Can we still submit after the deadline?

No. The deadline of 5.00 pm on Sunday 4 January 2026 is fixed so we can move into assessment and scoring.
 

What if we have already registered previously?

Enter your NLC registration number when prompted and your details will appear automatically.

We are a new organisation — what should we do?

Answer ‘No’ when asked if you have a registration number, complete the registration task, then move on to the application.
 

Will support be available during the festive closure?

No live support will be available between 24 December and 5 January, so we recommend completing your application early in December.
