Tamara Essex has listed the top eleven reasons why applications to the Lottery fail on her blog. Not surpringly the main reason is applicantants not sufficiently demonstrating that they meet the aims of the fund.

As she points out all of the reasons are clearly avoidable. Interestingly, not sufficient money to fund all the applications or too much good comppetition does not feature on the list!

More details from Tamara Essex. It is also worth having a look at some of the other listings on her blog as there is some very good advice there.
