Grant Application Deadlines for 2026

Posted on December 18, 2025

At a recent meeting of the Board of Trustees, it was agreed that there will be two calls for grant submissions in 2026. The revised deadlines and associated financial parameters are outlined below:

   ♦   15 March 2026 – Deadline for grant submissions with no formal financial limit (although the Trust rarely commits to projects in excess of £30,000).

   ♦   15 September 2026 – Deadline for grant submissions with awards capped at a maximum of £5,000.

Applicants are encouraged to consult our Criteria and Guidelines page for full details. In addition, we have provided specific criteria for each type of application to help ensure proposals align with the Trust’s grant-giving conditions.
