Open Grants
Take a look at our open and upcoming grants programmes, and some useful links to help you before you start your application
We run a range of different grants programmes throughout the year. Each programme has its own themes and priorities, so please read the full criteria and make sure you are eligible before making an application. You can apply for, and hold, grants from different programmes at the same time. We encourage applications from underserved and underrepresented communities across all our funding opportunities.
You might find it helpful to take a look at our example application forms. These show you some of our typical application questions (though these vary by programme), and give you an idea of the kind of detail you should include in your application.
You can find an example application for activity funding here and an example application for core cost funding here.
