Latest change: The Ballytobin Foundation now accepts applications on a rolling basis with review dates of September 15, January 15, and May 15, and applicants must submit the Isabel booking request form plus their Isabel estimate.
Application process and review schedule updated
The Application Process now says Ballytobin funding applications are accepted on a rolling basis and evaluated three times a year on September 15, January 15, and May 15. Applicants must now provide the Isabel Booking Information Request Form and their Isabel estimate, and no further documents are required; applications are to be sent to info@ballytobin.com.
