UK registered Christian charities involved in mission, relief and social change work are invited to present at Cross Pollinate to say what you could do with £5,000.  

• On the evening you will have only 6 minutes to present – this will be tightly timed
  
  
• There will be a further 6 minutes of Qs & As – again closely timed
  
  
• There is no guaranteed sum that each charity will receive – it is dependent on gifts and pledges made by the audience on the evening
  
  
• You must be free to present on the evening of the meeting!
  
  
• An independent panel will select the 5 charities to present at the launch meeting. They will try to choose a diverse and interesting mix of charities.·
  
  

We are against lengthy, time wasting application forms!
Please send your request to participate as an attachment to an email and send to admin@crosspollinate.co.uk by Friday 19th March 2010. In the subject box of your email please put your charity name, for ease of circulation to the selection panel.

• who are you and what do you do?

• What would you do with £5,000 of funding, or more if it could be raised?

• Please give details of your charity website and UK charity registration number

• Please include your email address for ease of correspondence

• Are you free to present on May 5th?

• Please include your last year’s turnover – charities turning over £1 million or more, or subsidiaries of those turning over £1 million or more, will not be considered.

CLOSING DATE FOR APPLICATIONS FOR THE MAY 5TH MEETING IS FRIDAY MARCH 19TH 2010.

We can only accept applications on one side of A4 emailed to admin@crosspollinate.co.uk

Our vision is to help give a platform to smaller Christian charities who may otherwise struggle to get heard in today’s crowded charity marketplace.

Please note...

• All charities will be advised whether or not they have been selected about 3 weeks prior to the event

• Only charities selected to present are invited to attend the event – sorry!

• Cross Pollinate is a simple network set up in our “spare time” and as such we have no capacity for corresponding with charities by email or phone”
