How much can I apply for?
The average grant we make is about £54,000 in total, although a number of grants are for a lesser amount, and some are for more.
The amounts may be spread over one, two or three years and in some cases over longer periods, if there is a good reason to do so. For example, if you are awarded a grant of £54,000, this could be £18,000 over three years, or £30,000 in the first year and £24,000 in the second.
We will not normally make grants that exceed £100,000. You may therefore need to apply to other funders to fund your proposal jointly with us and we encourage you to do this, as we cannot always provide the total costs of your work.
Grants made to small community groups (under Aim 5 in our funding guidelines) will not normally exceed £30,000 with an average grant being £16,000 in total, although many grants will be less than this. You may apply over one, two or three years.
