How we fund
Our funding principles
We aim to make applying predictable and fair, particularly for applicants without a professional fundraising function.
Published criteria
Every programme states who can apply, what we fund and what we do not fund before applications open.
Consistent assessment
Applications are scored against the same published rubric by more than one reviewer.
Clear communication
Applicants are told the decision timeline up front and are notified whatever the outcome.
No fees to apply
Applying to our own programmes is always free. We never charge for consideration.
Applying to a programme we administer
Read the criteria carefully, prepare your budget early, and reach out with questions before the deadline rather than after it.
