I am worried that my Project idea is a good one and could be ‘stolen’. Will my proposal be treated confidentially?

Yes. All applications will be treated in the strictest confidence during the application process. All the people involved in running the Fund, including the Independent Appraisal Panel members, have signed a binding Code of Conduct that prohibits them from divulging details of the applications to others, and also prohibits them from using the information for personal gain.
