With Smart Approve
Our approval software will automate your NHS charities grant requests and the approval outcomes can only take between 1 hour - 1 week maximum across multiple NHS decision makers.
Without Smart Approve. Typical timeline for NHS Charities Grant Approval is between 10 -12 weeks.
1.Preparation Phase
(1-4 weeks): This phase involves gathering data, conducting analysis, and crafting the business case. Depending on the scope and complexity of the proposal, this phase can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks.
2.Internal Review
(1-2 weeks): Once the business case is prepared, it typically goes through an internal review process. This involves presenting the case to relevant stakeholders, such as department heads, finance teams, and executives, for feedback and initial approval.
3.Revision and Refinement
(1-2 weeks): Based on the feedback received during the internal review, revisions may be necessary to further refine the business case. This could involve adjusting financial projections, addressing concerns raised by stakeholders, or incorporating additional data or analysis.
4.Final Approval
(1-4 weeks): After the necessary revisions are made, the business case is presented for final approval. The timeline for this step can vary widely depending on the decision-making structure of the organisation. In some cases, final approval may be granted relatively quickly, while in others, it may require approval from multiple layers of management or executive committees, which can take longer.
