By accepting funding from the Alwaleed Community Grant Scheme, you will be consenting to the following terms and conditions: Your Alwaleed Community Grant funding, (“the Grant”) must be spent in the manner outlined in your application, by the organisation which submitted the application. If circumstances mean you are likely to deviate from this, you must contact us immediately. The University must consent to any significant variation of the proposed project and/or budget. Where such consent has not been given the University reserves the right to withdraw, adjust or request the return of the Grant. Grants cannot usually be transferred from one organisation to another. If it looks like your project may encounter delays, you must contact us immediately. Again, the University reserves the right to withdraw, adjust or require the return of the Grant. Funding cannot be ‘double-counted’: your project may be funded from more than one source, but you must not (for example) claim for the same item from two different sources. Your project cannot start before payment is received by your organisation; you should not spend against the Grant before then. Any unspent money must be returned to the Alwaleed Centre within one month of your project ending. A full breakdown of your spending must be provided in your final report, together with copies of receipts or other proof of expenditure. You will send us a final report on your project, using a template provided by the Alwaleed Centre, within one month of your project ending. Failure to meet this deadline may jeopardise your chances of receiving future funding from The Alwaleed Centre. The Alwaleed Centre shall be entitled to publicly disseminate all or part of your final report. We may, at our discretion, publicly refer to you/your organisation, as a recipient of the Grant, and to the general nature of your project, on any University website(s) and/or other communications channels. We will not mention specific project details without your consent, which you will not unreasonably withhold. The Alwaleed Centre may request to visit you and your project, to receive an update on the project and create media to support our communications about your project. We appreciate there may sometimes be good reasons why such visits are not possible but, otherwise, we would expect you to accommodate such visits. Where you share with us photographs or other media associated with your project, the Alwaleed Centre will not identify individuals in such photographs, or share their likeness through photographs or video, without their prior written consent (and that of the parent or guardian of a vulnerable person). It would be very helpful if you could include use by the University when seeking permissions for your own purposes. The University will not publish any photos without appropriate permissions being secured. Where they cannot be published, these media are still useful for internal evaluation purposes. You must acknowledge the University’s support in any materials published for your project and in the accounts and annual report of your organisation. A template for acknowledging the University’s support will be provided. Your project will take all customary and appropriate steps to look after the safety and wellbeing of all the people involved, but especially of individuals who may be more vulnerable. Where appropriate and necessary, PVGs must be in place for individuals coming into contact with vulnerable groups (for example, where volunteers are working alone with vulnerable individuals). PVG accreditation must be supported by practical plans and policies for ensuring the safety and wellbeing of vulnerable and other people. Your project should not damage the natural and built environment and heritage, where applicable. Your project must be fully compliant with relevant laws, including General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), health and safety, planning, and pollution laws, as applicable. Your project must not contravene the University of Edinburgh’s Dignity and Respect policy. Unless you own the site/land where your project takes place, you must have permission from the owner to undertake your project there. We will retain details of your project (including application forms, finance and terms & conditions, end-of-grant report and any provided media) for five years.
