How to make an application

In the first instance applicants should make an application in writing to the Secretary:

The Secretary
Chartered Institute of Marketing Charitable Trust
Moor Hall
Cookham
Berkshire
SL6 9QH

The Secretary will ensure that the application complies with the procedures of the Trust and that all necessary information is provided.

A copy will be sent to each Trustee prior to a Trustees meeting, usually held quarterly, and will be discussed at a meeting of the Trustees.

The Secretary will inform the applicant:

	whether their application has been granted - in which case the Secretary will make any arrangements for transfer of funds
	whether the Trustees would like more information before they make a decision - in which case the Secretary will arrange for the additional information
	whether the application is rejected

All correspondence should be with the Secretary
