FAQs

Who can apply for funding?

We only donate to UK registered charities. We welcome applications from individuals or organisations based in South East England whose projects align with our focus on arts, culture, or community support.

How much funding can I apply for?

Grant amounts vary depending on the scale and purpose of the project. We aim to provide meaningful support that enables your project to progress, rather than partial or token contributions.

How can I apply for a grant?

Only applications submitted through this site will be considered. Please fill in the form on the Apply Now page.

How long does it take to receive a decision?

Grants are awarded biannually, in the Autumn and Spring. You can apply at any time via our online form and you will be advised if you are successful following the board meetings. Please do not chase us for news of your grant application as we don’t have the resources to respond to each application individually.
