Helping good ideas move forward.

The FGS96 Grants & Loans Programme is intended to support member progress through structured access to opportunity, responsible financial assistance and clear accountability.

Programme status

This page introduces the programme framework. Applications are not being advertised here as open because approved funding amounts, eligibility criteria, application dates and terms have not yet been supplied for publication.

What the programme aims to achieve

How the process should work

01

Guidelines published

FGS96 Achievers communicates the approved programme rules, eligibility, available funding, timelines and required documents.

02

Application submitted

Eligible members submit the required information through the official channel within the announced window.

03

Fair review

Authorised reviewers assess applications against published criteria and declare any relevant conflicts of interest.

04

Decision & follow-up

Applicants are informed of decisions. Approved support is documented and monitored in line with the applicable terms.

Grants

Grant support is intended for approved purposes under published conditions. Final guidelines should explain eligibility, permitted uses, assessment criteria and how outcomes will be monitored.

Loans

Loan support is intended to help eligible members meet an approved need or pursue a viable opportunity. Before applications open, FGS96 Achievers should publish any amount limits, fees or interest, repayment period, security requirements and consequences of late payment.

Grants and loans are not the same

A grant generally does not require repayment when its conditions are met. A loan is repayable under agreed terms. FGS96 Achievers should publish the exact type of support available in each funding round, including any repayment schedule, fees or interest where applicable.

What members should prepare

Once a round is officially announced, applicants may be asked to provide membership confirmation, a clear statement of need or purpose, a budget or business plan where relevant, supporting documents and an agreement to the programme’s terms.

Before you apply

Do not send sensitive financial documents or money to individuals claiming to process an application unless FGS96 Achievers has confirmed the official process. Use only contact details and application links formally announced by FGS96 Achievers.

For updates, use the official member portal or contact FGS96 Achievers through its confirmed communication channels.
