Expression of Interest form – Groups

Using the form below, please tell us what you want to do and how much you would like to apply for. Our Grants Team will cross-reference your request against the criteria of our 85+ Donor Funds. If we have a Donor Fund which may be able to support your request, we will invite you to apply and let you know the deadline to submit your application.

Expressions of Interest are welcome at any time, and will be assigned to the closest available quarterly application deadline. We recommend you read our Eligibility Criteria before submitting an Expression of Interest.

For guidance, the average grant size from our Donor Funds is £6,000 – £7,000, and we may be able to offer in excess of £10,000 on occasion. Please enter the total cost of your project and how much you need to raise in the form below; we truly wish to know what your organisation needs. If we can identify a suitable Donor Fund but feel we are unlikely to be able to secure the required amount, we will recommend that you apply for a lower amount.

Please note that we do not award retrospective grants – be sure to allow plenty of time to go through the grants process. We would recommend you allow a minimum of 3 months from the deadline date.
