All our chosen projects are Russian-registered charities. On an annual basis, we ask our projects to apply for a grant by completing a detailed grant application. Once the application has been received, the ARC Management Committee will make a formal assessment and if the application is approved, a grant will beawarded.
As an organization that raises its own funds, we appreciate the trust that has been placed in us by our sponsors and supporters. We take this responsibility very seriously. For this reason we seek to only fund projects that are sustainable, transparent and are models of good practice.
Before agreeing to take on a new project there is a monitoring period of 6 months in which research is carried out and financial & administrative information is scrutinized. Once accepted as an ARC project we remain loyal to that organisation and in addition to financial help, we also offer professional guidance and advice if required. Increasingly, we provide facilitation services in which direct funding relationships are fostered between corporate sponsors and ARC projects.
We are proud of the close working relationship we have built up with our projects. Each project is assigned an ARC Coordinator whose role it is to build a relationship with the project and also to liaise with the ARC Management Committee.
