Apply for a Grant
Apply for Funding
Start your application now by filling in your details below and downloading the application form. Once completed email your form to [email protected] before 5pm on Friday 6th December.
Please note: The school/organisation must be within the West Midlands Combined Authority area in the United Kingdom. We do not accept international applications. We also do not accept applications from limited companies.
As we wish to maximise the impact of our grants, we encourage grant applicants to apply for smaller grants of between £1,000 and £5,000 in this grant cycle. This will mean that we can potentially help more organisations. There will still be the opportunity for a few larger grants (of up to £20,000) to be given but in the main we will be concentrating on helping the wider community with smaller grants.
How to Apply
Save your application with your organisation’s name.
