What is a Small Grant?

  • Grants of up to £15,000.
  • One-stage application process.
  • We aim to provide a decision within 12 weeks.
  • Decisions are made by our Foundation Director.

Please ensure that you read our 'Applying for a Grant' page carefully before beginning your application. You may also wish to review our Application Guidance document (PDF), which includes a preview of the Small Grants Application.

‍

We work to promote equity and transparency in our grantmaking and across our organisation, and to ensure that our processes enable grantees and potential grantees to be impactful and successful without creating barriers or imposing unnecessary burdens.

‍

We never work with third-party agents or consultants to source or solicit applications to our Open Grant Programme, and no special preference is given to applications or organisations that work with third-party agents to submit their applications. Each application is assessed independently and equitably by our grants team and board of trustees against our eligibility criteria and Impact Framework.
