Apply for this grant round through the Grants Portal. In the Funding Opportunities button, you will see a number of rounds that you could apply for. Please ensure you choose the correct round based on your project and organisation’s annual income.
Please note, if you have never applied for funding from the Foundation before, you will need to register on the Portal first and provide up to date governance information and documents for your organisation. Please do this as soon as possible so it does not delay the submission of your application.
Any applications that fall outside of the criteria will not be eligible. If you have any questions, be sure to check out the FAQs first.
