If your project fits with our general funding criteria, we will need an application with the following headings:

• Please provide a detailed description of the project for which you are seeking funding.
  
  
• When is the project due to start and finish?
  
  
• What is the amount of funding required?
  
  
• Please describe the potential benefits, impact of the project and how it is sustainable.
  
  
• How many people will the project benefit and over what period, e.g. can it benefit the immediate community as well as the children it seeks to assist?
  
  
• Do you anticipate the project will require additional funding in the future?
  
  

If your application is successful, you will be asked to complete the Virgin Atlantic Foundation Due Dilligence form.

* Please note, 2009 Change for Children projects have already been selected. Applications for 2010 will open in September 2009.

There is no application form, but please follow the points above and submit your application in writing to community.investments@fly.virgin.com.

You can apply for flight assistance if your application fits our general funding criteria.

Please apply by emailing community.investments@fly.virgin.com.

We'll try our best to respond within 2 weeks of your request. Please be patient if this takes a little longer than expected - we receive thousands of requests each month and it does take time to thoroughly review and assess them all.
