Sample Application Forms

To help organize the information we need about your company and your project, download a version of the Assessment funding application form from the tools/templates page. When you have all of the information ready, you can cut and paste answers in the appropriate places in the online (web) application form. NOTE: All applications must be submitted through the online application form. Paper copies, emails or faxes are not permitted.

Our application form has a number of detailed questions about your company, the people who work there, and about the specifics of your proposed project, its costs and timing, and the benefits you expect from it. The questions are detailed because we want to give you the best opportunity to provide a very clear presentation about why your project will be successful and will make a difference to your company.

Who Should Complete the Application?

Because the application contains important information about your company (for example your corporate registration number) and about your proposed project (including details of costs and timing), different people in your organization may have to contribute different information to complete your application. However, at this time, only one person per facility can be registered to use the online system, so it might be best if the application is actually made by a senior person at the company.  3rd party submissions will not be considered.
