We aim to advance the wellbeing of people, society and the natural world by focusing on the arts, environment and social action. We believe these areas, both separately and together, can make an important contribution to wellbeing.

1. Complete our eligibility quiz.
2. Check that your application fits the guidelines for the relevant category.
There are specific criteria for Arts, Environment or Social Action.
3. Read our information on how to write your application.
Please also check our funding FAQs which may answer some of your queries.
Our application process
We have a two-stage application process:
Stage 1: We ask for a brief description of your organisation and what you would like us to fund on no more than two sides of A4, plus some basic information about your organisation, some financial information and some information about diversity, equity and inclusion.
Stage 2: If you are invited to the next stage we will ask you for a full application.
You can find out more about this on our ‘How to apply’ page. A detailed overview of what information we require for both stages is available here.
