Funds available
Our grants are offered as a contribution to your overall project costs as we do not fully fund projects.
We offer three levels of grants. These are large grants of £25,000 and above; medium grants of up to £20,000 and small grants of £5,000 and under. Our large and medium grants are considered and agreed upon at our Trustees’ meetings. Our small grants are agreed by Trustees on a monthly basis and form the majority of our grants.
Small grants are normally awarded to projects costing £100,000 and under.
Deadline date
We have no deadlines and accept applications all year round.
