Statement our use of AI: We may use artificial intelligence to help with due diligence checks on organisations applying for funding. This could include to help check eligibility, review supporting documents against our requirements, and carry out due diligence on applicant organisations. We do not use AI for decision making, meaning every funding decision is made by people, not AI.
