We use a two-step application procedure to help ensure your project is a good fit for the funding guidelines. You are invited to submit an initial overview of the project for consideration. Upon review by the granting committee, you may be asked to submit a detailed application, revise your application or be declined. The form can be downloaded below and either mailed or emailed back to the granting committee.
GO TO GRANT APPLICATION DOWNLOADSApplication Deadlines:
Grants are made throughout the year on an ongoing basis so please apply when you have collected the required information. Applicants can expect at least a 3-month wait time for a decision on their final application.
Application Procedure:
As our application procedure takes time we suggest that applicants initially send a short proposal of one or two pages. If we feel the project fits within our scope, the applicant will be invited to submit a complete proposal and will be advised of the level of detail required.
Reporting:
Successful applicants will be asked to develop an informal communication plan with us, the success of which may determine future funding. The plan may include verbal, written, digital (video or photo), performances, or events. If we would like to use any of your submitted material on this website we will seek your permission first.
Grants are unlikely to exceed $10,000 per project and we prefer that our contribution to each project is worthwhile in scope and value.

Projects must occur within the City of London.
Projects not supported:
