Onboarding: The onboarding process will take place mid-February.
Support: Our partnership period runs annually from mid-February to the end of October.

AI Statement

We welcome applications supported by AI tools, but please ensure your unique voice and the heart of your organisation still shine through. If your application is successful, we’ll be working closely together, so it’s important we get a real sense of who you are from the very start.

We appreciate completing application forms can be a lengthy process. We offer more than just money and our support approach requires 9 months commitment. If you’re unsure whether this is the right kind of support for you, please book a 15 minutes call with Jane, the Founder for a friendly chat. Email jane@pearcefoundation.org.uk to arrange.

Alternatively, please fill in this form, and we will contact you as soon as possible.
