The Stone Family Foundation

Identifying prize winners will involve three rounds:

Round 1

In the first stage we want to hear about your initiative – what it hopes to achieve, how it fits our criteria, its success to date, and how you want to develop it in the future. This will be done through a short web-based application form.

Round 2

If you successfully progress to round two, we will ask you to complete another web-based form. This will look in more detail at your plans for moving the initiative to the next stage of its development and in particular at how you would use the prize money.

Round 3

In this final round, we will ask short-listed candidates to present on their initiative in more detail and talk about your long-term ambitions for your initiative.
